How to change the "Date of Birth" format

[oling]

Anyone know how to change the standard date-of-birth format/field, like "01/01/2001" into a ten-digit straight numer like "2006664789"?

 

Thanks, oling

I maybe can help if I understand where you get 10 digits from? I only count 8 in

01/01/2001

Do you want to change date format from English to International???

BACKUP your current files before editing. Did I mention to BACKUP your current files, first?

 

 

Change this in includes/languages/english.php

 

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);
 }
}

 

to this (you can copy it from german.php, also)

 

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%d.%m.%Y');  // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A, %d. %B %Y'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT', 'd.m.Y');  // this is used for strftime()
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($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);
 } else {
return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2);
 }
}
