UK Date Format

Hi

 

I'm looking to change the date format to UK as well as any other settings required for the UK.

 

I read a solution on the forum but this looks really long-winded and its dated 2005, have there been any easier solutions to this issue since then?

 

Thank you,

Jeff

Edit /includes/languages/english.php

 

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

 

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');
