In fact these datetime "objects" are just a different type of string:
{ts '2005-06-14 23:30:11'} -----Original Message----- From: Dawson, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 14 June 2005 11:32 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: [QUARRANTINE]CFDUMP and value formatting >11/14/1979 is a string. Now() and createdate() and parsedatetime() etc. create datetime objects. When you say that these create datetime objects, do they only create correct-formatted date/time strings or is there an actual object underneath? If there is an object can't you do something like: <cfset myDate = now()> <cfoutput>#myDate.hour()#</cfoutout> If you can't do that sort of stuff, then I would assume that CF just passes "strings" as date/time objects. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
