<p>Date Format Example</p>
< CFSET todayDate = Now()>
< p>Today's date is <cfoutput>#todayDate#</cfoutput></p>
< p>Using DateFormat, we can display that date in a number of different
ways:</p>
< p> </p>
< cfoutput>
<ul>
<li>#DateFormat(todayDate)#
<li>#DateFormat(todayDate, "mmm-dd-yyyy")#
<li>#DateFormat(todayDate, "mmmm d, yyyy")#
<li>#DateFormat(todayDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")#
<li>#DateFormat(todayDate, "d-mmm-yyyy")#
<li>#DateFormat(todayDate, "ddd, mmmm dd, yyyy")#
<li>#DateFormat(todayDate, "d/m/yy")#
</ul>
<p>Using DatePart, we can extract an integer representing the various dateparts
from that value.</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>year: #DatePart("yyyy", todayDate)#
<li>quarter: #DatePart("q", todayDate)#
<li>month: #DatePart("m", todayDate)#
<li>day of year: #DatePart("y", todayDate)#
<li>day: #DatePart("d", todayDate)#
<li>weekday: #DatePart("w", todayDate)#
<li>week: #DatePart("ww", todayDate)#
<li>hour: #DatePart("h", todayDate)#
<li>minute: #DatePart("n", todayDate)#
<li>second: #DatePart("s", todayDate)#
</ul>
<p>The current time is:#TimeFormat(now())#
<p>You can also show the Month by giving an integer like:#MonthasString(5)#</p>
