Help with redirect and localdate

[Xenon]

ahh i see what you mean now

open global.php

find

PHP Code:

$timenow=vbdate($timeformat,time()); 


there replace $timeformat with a new format string

[Boofo]

Thank you. Now all I need to know is how you mean the "format string". Do I need to set it up somewhere else first? I'm sorry to sound so simple on this, but it has me totally baffled.

[Xenon]

instead of $timeformat use this (f.e.) string:

PHP Code:

"D H:i m-d-Y" 


[Boofo]

Ok, but will that work according to the users offset?

[Xenon]

yes it will, because vbdate function is used ^^

[Boofo]

Thank you, it worked. here's what I have now:

$timenow=vbdate("g:i a, D, M j, Y",time());

How would I get it to say this?

12:22 pm on Sun, Dec 8, 2002.

instead of:

12:22 pm, Sun, Dec 8, 2002.

[Xenon]

hmm, try this one:

PHP Code:

$timenow=vbdate("g:i a", time()) . " on " . vbdate("D, M j, Y",time()); 


[Boofo]

Perfect! Worked like a charm. Thank you very much, kind sir.

I need to ask, though, what are the 2 periods for in the code?

[Xenon]

well, you have to divide the code, because the formatstring would be converted into numbers or other things

vbdate("g:i a", time()) gives out: "12:22 pm"
. " on " . adds the " on " to the string
and vbdate("D, M j, Y",time()); adds the "Sun, Dec 8, 2002"

[Boofo]

Ahh, ok, that makes sense now. Would it also work like this?

$timenow=vbdate("g:i a", time())." on ".vbdate("D, M j, Y",time());

or do the spaces have to be there, too?
