the date

[a8le]

hi all,

how can i ensure that when i do a date stamp that the date used is the one on the server and not the client?

for example the the user might live in california and accessing the webpage on dec. 16th @ 11:00 pm, and the server is in new york? the time according to the server would be dec. 17th @ 2:00 am. Dec 16 <> Dec 17

i normally use "date.now.toshortstring" , would this do? i just recently noticed many other date() feature and am no longer sure of myself.

i just want to make sure that regardless of where the user is geographically locate, my date stamp would be the same. thanx in advance,

Keep going like that ... date.Now (as it is server-side code) will always return the current date from the server machine means if the server is in NY it will stamp NY local time
