I think it expects the date in the format the servers date settings are set. LS Locale Specific.
DateFormat expects the US format if I am correct... Could be wrong... I always use CreateDate() -----Original Message----- From: Barry Beattie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 7 July 2004 3:59 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] CF & Dates - something's gotta give! [error]"1989/01/31" is an invalid date format. since when? it's the ISO standard*. So what's wrong with this? <cfset args.data.DOE = LSDateFormat("1989/01/31","yyyy/mm/dd") /> (big fat error) but this format is fine <cfset args.data.DOB = LSDateFormat("4/11/1976","yyyy/mm/dd") /> and so is this (except it still confuses dmy with mdy) <cfset args.data.DOD = DateFormat("2004/04/04","yyyy/mm/dd") /> so what gives? Why does LSDateFormat() throw an error on the ISO format when DateFormat() doesn't? I'm not really looking for a solution ATM - I'll decide on a format and apply that or do what everyone else does and tear it apart just to piece back together. I'm just venting my spleen over illogical-ness and the lack of support in CF for a drop-dead simple format - yyyy/mm/dd. Even ASP would happily accept the ISO date standard and carry it from FORM to DB without mistake. I bloody well hope CF7 has got it's dates all sorted. It's giving me the sh!+s hrrrmph! barry.b * http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/popstds/datesandtime.html --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ Register now for the 3rd National Conference on Tourism Futures, being held in Townsville, North Queensland 4-7 August - www.tq.com.au/tfconf --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
