Re: [cobalt-users] Date Settings

Hi phillip,

You can set the format you wish by using

date +FORMAT MMDDhhmm CC YY ss

but for more info check out the man page of date.

But since you use PHP to insert stuff into a database why not use PHP to get
the correct date format. You can even make PHP put the names of days and the
month in your own language ( Oups you already have the language you want
:-))

You might want to take a look at the following functions:

<?
//Prints something like
//03:59 PM Monday January 1st, 2001
print(date(+h:i A l F dS, Y"));
?>

Otherwise make use of these nice locale on your Cobalt machine with the
following bit of Code:

<?
setlocale(LC_TIME, en_UK);
print(strftime("%c"));
?>

However no need to wait in a queue to purchase a ticket in order to visit
the http://www.php.net website :-)).
