I've tried changing the pabits of english.php that I think needed changing, but it did not work correctly. The following is an extract of the original english.php.

 

What I did not change was the @setlocale or the function tep_date_raw

Should I mod these, and if so into what ???

 

@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);

}

}

 

 

// text for date of birth example

define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mm/dd/yyyy');

Here are the changes I made to modify/change the date format:

 

OPEN FILE CATALOG/ADMIN/INCLUDES/LANGUAGES/ENGLISH.PHP

 

About line 22 find:

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');

 

and replace with:

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

 

About line 71 find:

define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mm/dd/yyyy');

 

and replace with:

define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'dd/mm/yyyy');

 

About line 181 find:

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', 'Your Date of Birth must be in this format: MM/DD/YYYY (eg 05/21/1970)');
define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT', '* (eg. 05/21/1970)');

 

and replace with:

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', 'Your Date of Birth must be in this format: DD/MM/YYYY (eg 21/05/1970)');
define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT', '* (eg. 21/05/1970)');

 

 

NOW OPEN FILE CATALOG/ADMIN/INCLUDES/LANGUAGES/ENGLISH.PHP

 

About line 19 find:

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()

and replace with:

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

 

About line 60 find:

define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mm/dd/yyyy');

 

and replace with:

define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'dd/mm/yyyy');

 

About line 143 find:

define('JS_DOB', '* The \'Date of Birth\' entry must be in the format: xx/xx/xxxx (month/date/year).\n');

 

and replace with:

define('JS_DOB', '* The \'Date of Birth\' entry must be in the format: xx/xx/xxxx (date/month/year).\n');

 

About line 170 find:

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', ' <span class="errorText">(eg. 05/21/1970)</span>');

 

and replace with:

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', ' <span class="errorText">(eg. 21/05/1970)</span>');

 

That should be all (hope I haven't missed anything), as usual back up your files first and I take no responsibility if this stuffs up your oscommerce store.

Cheers,
