Question

I have a date picker sending string dates in Euro format, e.g. 02/12/2011 (December 2, 2011). However, when I try to prepare the date in US format so the database can deal with it, e.g.

dateformat(LSDateFormat(form.startDate),'yyyy-mm-dd')

or

dateformat(form.startDate,'yyyy-mm-dd')

it convolutes the date to 2011-02-12 (February 12, 2011).

Does anyone have a solution that can handle dates – either as strings or date objects.

Cheers,
Paul

Answer 1

How does this work for you:

<cfscript>
euDateArr = ListToArray(form.startDate, '/');
dateObj = CreateDate(euDateArr[3], euDateArr[2], euDateArr[1]);
</cfscript>
