If so I'd ask my PHP coder to generate formatted string so that I need
to code less ;)
e.g.
var xml:XML = <data date="Tue Aug 26 12:00:00 GMT 2008" />
var targetDate:Date = new Date([EMAIL PROTECTED]());
...a lot less code than yours!

In PHP you can do whatever you want: see http://nl.php.net/date
I think it can also depend on your server.

Subject: [Flashcoders] is there a recognised date format for xml?
hi guys
i'm speccing an xml file for a server side dev that needs to return a target
date and time and i wanted to make sure i wasn't doing anything stupid
what would a php dev be expecting to use for time / date and how would that
be supplied in an xml file? And what would the best way of converting the
return string for flash to use?
I was thinking something along the lines of
<data date="2008,08,26" time="12,0,0" />
and using something like
var sDate:String = node.attributes.date;
var sTime:String = node.attributes.time;
var arDate:Array = sDate.split(",");
var nYear:Number = Number(arDate[0]);
var nMonth:Number = Number(arDate[1]-1); // months start at 0
var nDate:Number = Number(arDate[2]);
var arTime:Array = sTime.split(",");
var nTimeHours:Number = Number(arTime[0]);
var nTimeMinutes:Number = Number(arTime[1]);
var nTimeSeconds:Number = Number(arTime[2]);
var targetDate:Date = new Date(nYear, nMonth, nDate, nTimeHours,
nTimeMinutes, nTimeSeconds);
