Hi gang:

would you stop calling me that, I'll bet it means something rude in korean. :-P

Hey, you called me "schreef" and that means "an end of a stroke" (Arrggg, that has all sorts of meanings). :-)

wouldn't the slickest way be to carry/store unixtimestamps and then output whatever version you need when you need it, the conversion back and forth *seems* pointless.

I'm into pointless stuff -- I'm symmetrically challenged. I don't like doing anything that can't be undone.

what's with the superfluous variable? why not just: return strftime('%R', strtotime($t));

I like superfluous code -- it makes me feel better and I like to see the computer work (while they still work for us). Besides, oddly enough I can understand return $t; better than return strftime('%R', strtotime($t));

also, small point, if you came across the function militaryToStandard() somewhere in the code, how would one know if it were all about about time formats or elephants?

Good point, I should have used militaryToStandardElephants() Thanks, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
