Believe it or not, I'm still worrying away at this date issue. I dont understand ColdFusion's insistence that we have to use American dates. (This is CF9 Enterprise by the way)
I create a date object, using the following: createdate("2010","10","06") which is supposed to be year, month, day in that order. Then when i output the date in the next line it shows that date as 06/Oct/2010 It doesn't seem to make any difference whether i set a locale or not. It's nothing to do with dateformat, the problem here is that I'm creating a date using year-month-day and it's understanding it as year-day-month. HUH?? Here is the actual code: <cfset testdate = createdate("2010","10","06") /> <cfoutput> <p>test date is #testdate# : #dateformat(testdate, "dd/mmm/yyyy")# </p> </cfoutput> The result i get is this: test date is {ts '2010-10-06 00:00:00'} : 06/Oct/2010 Can someone else please run this code on their CF9 and see if they get the same result? That way i can know if this is being caused by something in the environment here.
