OK yes I added a function to the cfc that i got from Ben Forta's site. For
anyone that might like to venture an opinion about what on earth's going on
here, I'll paste it below.
Anyway, your timezone.cfc or not, I still have the problem. Does anyone
have a clue what's causing me to have the different year values? If i use
the variable "now" in the struct returned by the function, my formatted date
shows the year '0006'. But if i use the text cut and pasted from a dump of
the struct now, the formatted date shows the yar '2006'. WTF?
Here's the time function from Ben's website:
<cffunction name="GetNISTTime" returntype="struct" output="false">
<cfset var timeServer="192.43.244.18">
<cfset var result=StructNew()>
*<!--- Try/catch block --->*
<cftry>
*<!--- Try get time data --->*
<cfhttp url="http://#timeServer#:13/"; />
*<!--- Save raw data --->*
<cfset result.raw = CFHTTP.FileContent>
*<!--- Extract Julian date --->*
<cfset result.julian=ListGetAt(result.raw, 1, " ")>
*<!--- Extract current date and time --->*
<cfset result.now=ParseDateTime(ListGetAt(result.raw, 2, " ")
& " "
& ListGetAt(result.raw, 3, " "))>
*<!--- Extract daylight savings time flag --->*
<cfset result.dst=IIf(ListGetAt(result.raw, 4, " ") IS 0,
FALSE, TRUE)>
*<!--- Extract leap month flag --->*
<cfset result.leapmonth=IIf(ListGetAt(result.raw, 5, " ") IS 0,
FALSE, TRUE)>
*<!--- Extract health flag --->*
<cfset result.healthy=IIf(ListGetAt(result.raw, 6, " ") IS 0,
FALSE, TRUE)>
*<!--- Extract advance milliseconds --->*
<cfset result.msadv=ListGetAt(result.raw, 7, " ")>
*<!--- Success --->*
<cfset result.success=TRUE>
*<!--- Catch any errors --->*
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfset result.success=FALSE>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfreturn result>
</cffunction>
