Usage of Date-Time format?

Hi All,

With regard to Date-Time format, the manual gives an example of:

[fld;frm=mm/dd/yyyy] will display 12/21/2002

...but it doesn't make any mention of what value/format  'fld' actually contains to give this result!!! Earlier in the paragraph it mentions '...for a data item which type is date/time', but again doesn't actually mention what TBS considers to be date/time format!

Can someone please let me know what format the field should be in to be considered as date/time and therefore formattable using dd/mm/yyyy, etc.?

Many thanks,

Andy

Hi,

It should be a PHP timestamps, or a string recognized by strtotime(). ISO date representation such as '2011-10-20' is recognized.

Hi Skrol29,

Many thanks for this. Apologies for being a bit lazy - I could have tried with different formats, but seemed such an obvious thing to have missed out from the documentation.
