CF and MySQL will always attempt first to parse a date per the locale info, IIRC. In CF, you can use setlocale() to change this on the fly, and then use parsedatetime() and dateformat() to manipulate the dates.
I generally try to always use a yyyymmdd format when possible and format on output. This is, IMHO, simpler than dealing with locales and odd formatting. It also makes sorting easy. However, it may not be a viable answer for you. --Ben Mark Flewellen wrote: > I am having trouble with Date Formats on a Windows Server, running CFMX7 > and mysql, > > I am wanting to have dates appear in a European Format ie. dd/mm/yyyy > and once posted from a form for them to be saved in the MySQL Database > in an American Format (which it does by default). > > However I am finding that if I post a date such as 10/12/2005 (ie. 10 > December 2005), this will save in the database as 2005-10-12 (ie. 12 > October 2005), > > but > > if I save a date such as 18/12/2005 (ie. 18 December 2005), this saves > in the database in the correct format ie. 2005-12-18 > > It seems whenever the day value is below 13 it seems to swap the day and > the month around. > > Anyone got any ideas? > > Mark > > > > > ___________________________________________________________ > NEW Yahoo!
