The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hi,
I'm getting a date from a table, and then I want to save it to another table, but I want to save the date in the format dd/mm/yyyy... how do I do that? I don't want to get any 5/5/2004... I want to get 05/05/2004. Thanks for your help

here's my code :

var DateTemp = new Date()
DateTemp = ""+rsGetBGPData("effective_Date")
strFillBgar += "FromDate = '" + DateTemp + "', " //I build all my SQL statement in the strFillBgar variable then I execute it at the end

First split into day month year
and check by LEN if its 2 digits or not, like
if Len(varDAY) = 1 Then varDAY = "0" & varDAY

and join them together :D

peh803:

var DateTemp = new Date()

This looks like javascript; if you want to use vbscript, do it like this (this is just masirof's idea, spelled out a bit further)

<%
Dim sMyDate ' m/d/yyyy format
Dim sNewDate ' mm/dd/yyyy format
Dim sDay
Dim sMonth
sMyDate = "4/1/2000"
sDay = day(sMyDate)
sMonth = month(sMyDate)

if len(sDay)=1 then
sDay = "0"&sDay
end if

if len(sMonth)=1 then
sMonth = "0"&sMonth
end if

sNewDate = sMonth & "/" & sDay & "/" & year(sMyDate)
response.write "Day before conversion: "&sMyDate
response.write "Day after conversion: "&sNewDate

%>

Hope this helps!

apresto:

this is a very lame suggestion compared to other but would it work if you put this neat the top of your code:

<% session.lcid = 2057 %>

but that might just display them in british date format

Here is a DLL that i use that will allow you to format dates and times just like you would in VB..

http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/demos/FormatDemo.asp

It is freeware, but is an active X dll. If your trying to stay away from that, this will not help.

Sorry guys, I forgot to mention : I work only with javascript...

peh803, can you translate that code into javascript?

There seems to be a good js formatDate function here:

Or, how about this?

function getDisplayDate(passedDate) {
// MM/DD/YYYY

theDate = new Date(passedDate);

// split into day, month, year
iDay = theDate.getDate();
iMonth = theDate.getMonth();
iYear = theDate.getFullYear();

sDisplayDate = iMonth + "/" + iDay + "/" + sYear;

return sDisplayDate;
}

// example use
now = new Date();
document.writeln("Today's Date is: " + getDisplayDate(now));

gita_borad:

You can try SQL convert function with style to do this easily

E.g. select convert(varchar, convert(datetime,('5/5/2004')), 103)
will give you "05/05/2004"

So, use
strFillBgar += "FromDate = convert(varchar, convert(datetime,('" + DateTemp + "')), 103)"

Not sure that that will include the "0" in front of the numbers like he wants. You have to include a conditional:

if (iDay< 10) iDay = ("0" + iDay + ", ");
if (iMonth< 10) IMonth = ("0" + iMonth + ", ");

Try this (this is what I use):

var calendar = new Date();
var iMonth = calendar.getMonth();
var iDate = calendar.getDate();
var iYear = calendar.getYear();
if (iYear < 1000)
      iYear += 1900;
var cent = parseInt(iYear/100);
var g = iYear % 19;
var k = parseInt((cent - 17)/25);
var i = (cent - parseInt(cent/4) - parseInt((cent - k)/3) + 19 * g + 15) % 30;
      i -= parseInt(i/28) * (1 - parseInt(i/28) * parseInt(29/(i+1)) * parseInt((21-g)/11));
var j = (IYear + parseInt(iYear/4) + i + 2 - cent + parseInt(cent/4)) % 7;
var l = i - j;
var emonth = 3 + parseInt((l + 40)/44);
var edate = l + 28 - 31 * parseInt((emonth/4));
      emonth--;
if (iMonth< 10)
iMonth = ("0" + iMonth + ", "); // if you want leading zero on month
if (iDate< 10)
iDate = ("0" + iDate + "/"); // if you want leading zero on date
DateTemp = IMonth + IDate + IYear;

This takes into account leap year and February.

Hope that helps,
Brad
