Date formats etc...

[jodleren]

Hi all

I get data like this: lastgood_master=1233582125, the number is a unis
number:

" Returns the current time measured in the number of seconds since the
Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT). "

And I need to do 2 things
1) show that date is some format (dd.mm hh:nn) in ASP
2) check with the current time in ASP - meaning that I get now() which
I have to compare it with.

Any ideas anyone

TIA

To convert it to a datetime, use DateAdd to add the seconds to the seed
datetime.

d=DateAdd("ss",lastgood_master,#1/1/1970#)

Then add/subtract the offset to get it to your timezone.

"s"

d = DateAdd("s",lastgood_master,#1970/1/1#)

The OQ being "in ASP",
the below is just as good:

d = new Date(lastgood_master * 1000);

Thanks, that was it (and simple, if only I know more about ASP)

Still, the date format is next

Do you really understand that ASP is not a language, but a platform,
and that

d = DateAdd("s",lastgood_master,#1970/1/1#)

is VBscript

and

d = new Date(lastgood_master * 1000);

is J[ava]script?

Well, start learning and experimenting,
the above being not that simple.

Perhaps I am underestimating you,
but that is the way if do not even sign your postings?

I am awere of that, mostly I work in PHP, and for the little work I do
in ASP it is more a language - maitaining existing stuff.
I am browsing this NG, and I have got it all now - the saving (new
post) is not needed really, except for testing (the test server cannot
send mail), but I am slowly learning

And I should sign
