Re: Need help with timestamp....

As I understand it, * "strftime" takes a format string and an integer timestamp and returns a date string * "date" takes a different type of format string and an integer timestamp and returns a date string In both cases they default to using the timestamp for the current time. SO: what you code is doing is 1) Calculating a date string using "date" based on the current time 2) Passing that string to strfttime at a point where it is expecting an integer timestamp, and that is being interpreted as 0 or -1 ( not sure which ) Maybe just: define('SUB_BAR_TITLE', strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG)); At 20:46 5/07/2001 -0400, JustinS wrote:

I want to stamp the CURRENT time on my page... as of right now it's reading ====== Wednesday 31 December, 1969 ====== i assume im not doing something correctly... the following is how i have the line written atm define('SUB_BAR_TITLE', strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG, (date ("F d, Y h:i:s A")))); no, i did not write this script, which is the reason i dunno what the heck im doing -- im curious if anyone has some insight on the problem Thanks in advance.
