Drop the quotes... #LsDateFormat(DateVar, 'dd/mm/yyyy')#
Instead of #LsDateFormat("DateVar", 'dd/mm/yyyy')# HTH Mikey ========================================= http://www.phonebin.com "From Phone to Web in minutes" -----Original Message----- From: Leonardo Crespo - Cftop.COM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 18:05 To: CF-Talk Subject: URGENT, cfmx interprets MYSQL date (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) as INVALID! I'm evaluating cfmx on j2ee. I use mysql as database and all my date are stored in mysql default format, witch is "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss". I'm using the Portugues(Brazilian) locale. As you know, MYSQL stores DateTime objects in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS". When i try to run the code: <cfquery name=bla....> Select DateField from .... </cfquery> <cfset DateVar = bla.DateField> (suppose DateVar has the value "2003-02-23 18:34:59 ") #LsDateFormat("DateVar", 'dd/mm/yyyy')# it throws an error saying 2003-02-23 18:34:59 is an INVALID date format. the same error is returned if i use the CREATEODBCDateTime function, as follow #LsDateFormat("CREATEODBCDateTime(Now())", 'dd/mm/yyyy')# throwns this error: "{ts '2003-01-07 16:23:09'} " is an invalid date format. ALSO, <cfset temp = ParseDateTime("{ts '2003-23-02 18:34:59'}")> <cfoutput>#LsDateFormat(temp, 'dd/mm/yyyy')#</cfoutput> outputs this: {ts '2003-02-24 12:52:28'} 02/11/2004 when the correct date is 24/02/2003 (dd/mm/yyyy format). I cant understand why the mysql default date format is not valid anymore. I realy dont want to change all my date fields in my database, or change all my code that use dates (witch are quite alot). Does anyone knows why CFMX does that and does anyone knows a solution? Tks alot Leonardo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
