Date format

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am operating from England and over here the date format is written dd/mm/yyyy so I would like to change it in oscommerce to be like this. The main place I would like it changed is when customers are signing up for a new account.

 

I have looked at a few of the php pages of the shop and I have seen date format in a few places. Where do I change the code to do this and do I have to change it in a few places?

 

Thanks

 

John

English as Default

catalog/includes/languages/english.php line# 19-45

 

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_UK.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');

////
// Return date in raw format
// $date should be in format dd/mm/yyyy
// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY
function tep_date_raw($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);
}
}

// if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language)
define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');

// Global entries for the <html> tag
define('HTML_PARAMS','dir="LTR" lang="en"');

// charset for web pages and emails
define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

 

then Line# 73

 

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

 

then line# 186-187

 

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)');

 

all line numbers are approximates as my code is modified.

you will also need to do the same for admin.
