Displaying the Date

[JackFranklin]

Hi,

How can I query the date when a thread was posted? I'm guessing it's stored in the dateline column but have no idea how to format it.

Here are the two lines you can use to get the date and the time from $threads['dateline'].
$threads['date'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'],$threads['dateline']);
$threads['time'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'],$threads['dateline']);

Thanks Lynne.

However I'm trying to get the date but not on a VBulletin page, so do I need to include some files?

[Lynne]

I'm using that on a non-vB page and I included the global.php at the top:
require_once('./global.php');

Thanks Lynne worked great.
