Re: date format (another question)
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2000
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 26785
interpreted = N
texte = [math]MyDate={[date]}[/math]Will give you a variable that contains today's date as a number of days since some time in the past that I can't remember.To make it readable.... [format days_to_date][MyDate][/format]You should note however... that you'll need to do these types of conversions every time the fields are referenced.I took Ken's advice and implemeted one site using the days_to_date business and now I find it more work then it was worth to search for things like find all records created in the month of December.Furthermore, since I learned how to use the date attribute in math calculations and search contexts, I haven't found a situation where using the mm/dd/yyyy doesn't work for searchs, sorts and calculations. So I think I'm actually going to using the [date] without changing it to days on the next system I build.___Joe___At 9:56 AM 1/31/00, Dale Therio wrote: >> Typhoon Pro v3.0.7 on Mac w/Webstar >> >> A similar question, >> >> I am developing a new site and based on the constant recommendation by >> Ken G. and others on the list I will set the date format the number >> searchable. >> >> The dubm question is, how do I save the date in the database in this >> format?
