Date & Time Documentation Understanding Date & Time Formats This software allows you to enter your own custom date and time formats so they may displayed how you would like them. This document explains all of the available format possibilities, and gives several examples on how to get you going. If you would rather not mess with this, you can leave the format fields in setup.cgi blank, and the script will use a default value. A quick explanation of how the formatting works is: The script will look at the format string that is passed to it. When it finds a character preceded by a percent sign, it will try to replace that with a date or time value. All other characters in the string are ignored, and returned unchanged. For example, if the string '%d-%w-%m' were passed in, the script would find three distinct values - %d, %w, %m - and replace them with the appropriate values. Below is a table listing all of the valid percent-character combinations. Date Formats %d - day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros; i.e. "01" to "31" %j - day of the month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "31" %D - day of the week, textual, 3 letters; i.e. "Fri" %w - day of the week, textual, long; i.e. "Friday" %M - month, textual, 3 letters; i.e. "Jan" %F - month, textual, long; i.e. "January" %m - month, 2 digits with leading zeros; i.e. "01" to "12" %n - month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "12" %Y - year, 4 digits; i.e. "1999" %y - year, 2 digits; i.e. "99" Time Formats %a - "am" or "pm" %h - hour, 12-hour format; i.e. "01" to "12" %H - hour, 24-hour format; i.e. "00" to "23" %g - hour, 12-hour format without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "12" %G - hour, 24-hour format without leading zeros; i.e. "0" to "23" %i - minutes; i.e. "00" to "59" %s - seconds; i.e. "00" to "59" Now that we have covered the allowable format characters, we'll give you some examples. Below are a few valid format strings, and three examples of the output they would produce. Date Examples Format String Sample Output ------------- ------------- %n-%j-%y 1-5-00 10-7-99 11-29-00 %d/%m/%Y 01/05/2000 10/07/1999 11/29/2000 %w, %M %d %Y Wednesday, Jan 5 2000 Thursday, Oct 10 2000 Wednesday, Nov 29 2000 Time Examples Format String Sample Output ------------- ------------- %g:%i%a 1:25pm 12:13am 7:05pm %H:%i 13:25 00:13 19:05 That should be enough to get you going. You can experiment with these formats until you get a result you like. Each time you make a change in setup.cgi, an example of the new date and time formats will be displayed on the verification page. |
