If you have to pick one, please pick an ISO-compilant one, like YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.fff. It's the least ambiguous format, is pretty readable, and as a bonus you can sort them as strings to put them in chronological order. Beside, this ordering of date components is used for SQL, HTML5, and the xs:dateTime base type for XML schemas, and probably many other places. -- Michel Fortin [email protected] http://michelf.com/ _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
