Generate Date
 

Im working on a mod for my forums where when I create a new news on our homepage (not vb connected as of now) it will create a new thread in a forum. I know there are hacks out there that make threads into news BUT I would LOVE it if i could do it this way. Now the only issue I am having is creating the date of the post. If i cannot figure this out I will end up using some generic date (if i can figure one out) but i would prefer if i could figure out how this is done. Thanks

Use the vbdate function.

$today = vbdate('m-d-Y', TIMENOW, false, false);

so that will generate the crazy code needed for the date to turn out right?

If I'm understanding your explanation right, yes. Change m-d-Y to suit your needs.
