Time functions
Just a few new features not well documented
HTML Code:
converttimetostring(VALUE);
//Example
converttimetostring(timevar2);
Will return the current date & time, as of right now it's " Sun Mar 28 16:16:59 2010".
Note: this will work with any numeric value (not just timevar2). The returned value will be after this date " Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970" which is returned with the value being 0.
HTML Code:
formattimestring(format, VALUE);
//Example
formattimestring("Abbreviated Day Name:%a, Abbreviated Month Name:%b, Year:%Y", timevar2);
This will convert any value into a specific format, as the example above would show " Abbreviated Day Name:Sun, Abbreviated Month Name:Mar, Year:2010". Once again, the value can be any value but the conditions above do apply.
Here are a list of how you can format the output to formattimestring():
