Change date format - pls look at files

[wwtees]

Someone please tell me how to change the date format on the front page of my store. I've read hundreds of posts and all indicate that changes need to be made in the includes/languages/english.php and admin/includes/languages/english.php files, but when checking mine all looks like it's right. The date on my main page is showing up as dd/mm/yy, and I need to change it to mm/dd/yy.

 

Code from admin/includes/languages/english.php:

 

// look in your $PATH_LOCALE/locale directory for available locales..

// on RedHat6.0 I used 'en_US'

// on FreeBSD 4.0 I use 'en_US.ISO_8859-1'

// this may not work under win32 environments..

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%m/%d/%Y'); // this is used for strftime()

define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()

define('DATE_FORMAT', 'm/d/Y'); // this is used for date()

define('PHP_DATE_TIME_FORMAT', 'm/d/Y H:i:s'); // this is used for date()

define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');

 

////

// Return date in raw format

// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy

// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY

function tep_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {

if ($reverse) {

return substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);

} else {

return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2);

}

}

 

Code from includes/languages/english.php:

 

// look in your $PATH_LOCALE/locale directory for available locales

// or type locale -a on the server.

// Examples:

// on RedHat try 'en_US'

// on FreeBSD try 'en_US.ISO_8859-1'

// on Windows try 'en', or 'English'

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

 

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%m/%d/%Y'); // this is used for strftime()

define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()

define('DATE_FORMAT', 'm/d/Y'); // this is used for date()

define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');

 

////

// Return date in raw format

// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy

// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY

function tep_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {

if ($reverse) {

return substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);

} else {

return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2);

}

}

 

 

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

What you have will display the date as mm/dd/yyyy.

 

Well it should, but it doesn't - that's the problem - it still shows dd/mm/yy on the front page.

What is the url to your store?

 

Also, is your host located here in the states or in Europe?

Hosted in the US, store is down for maintenance so it doesn't show at this time. Will be http://www.wildwomantees.com

Is there any way that I can get to your store so I can see the date in action?
