getting at using the date:

[deep-wood]

hi!

ive seen it done in snitz, and for me, it would be best for what im needing:

the date&time is done:

yyyymmddhhmmss

how can i get the server time of the year say? just the year? and the same with the month...and the days and hours etc

so i could go:

response.write date_y & "/" & date_m & "/" & date_d & "/"

thanks all

There's plenty of ways to do this.. Here is some ASP Date Functions that might help you:

Let me know if this doesn't help!

Try this :


date_Y = Year(date)
date_m = month(date)
date_d = day(date)

response.write date_y & "/" & date_m & "/" & date_d & "/"

thanks guys! thats great! :D

just out of curiosity - ive tried somthing....

date_h = hour(time)
date_m = minute(time)
date_s = second(time)

it works great but the hour is in 24 hour format - is there a way to put this into 12 hour?

You may want to research the FormatDateTime function...
