datetime - Format current date and time -

i wondering if me.

i'm new @ asp want format current date , time follows:

yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss 

but can following

response.write date 

can me out please.

date formatting options limited in classic asp default, there function formatdatetime() can format date various ways based on servers regional settings.

for more control on date formatting though there built in date time functions

• year(date) - returns whole number representing year. passing date() give current year.

• month(date) - returns whole number between 1 , 12, inclusive, representing month of year. passing date() return current month of year.

• monthname(month[, abbv]) - returns string indicating specified month. passing in month(date()) month give current month string. as suggested @martha

• day(date) - returns whole number between 1 , 31, inclusive, representing day of month. passing date() return current day of month.

• hour(time) - returns whole number between 0 , 23, inclusive, representing hour of day. passing time() return current hour.

• minute(time) - returns whole number between 0 , 59, inclusive, representing minute of hour. passing time() return current minute.

• second(time) - returns whole number between 0 , 59, inclusive, representing second of minute. passing time() return current second.

the functions month(), day(), hour(), minute() , second() return whole numbers. luckily there easy workaround lets pad these values right("00" & value, 2) append 00 front of value right take first 2 characters. ensures single digit values return prefixed 0.

dim dd, mm, yy, hh, nn, ss dim datevalue, timevalue, dtsnow, dtsvalue  'store datetimestamp once. dtsnow = now()  'individual date components dd = right("00" & day(dtsnow), 2) mm = right("00" & month(dtsnow), 2) yy = year(dtsnow) hh = right("00" & hour(dtsnow), 2) nn = right("00" & minute(dtsnow), 2) ss = right("00" & second(dtsnow), 2)  'build date string in format yyyy-mm-dd datevalue = yy & "-" & mm & "-" & dd 'build time string in format hh:mm:ss timevalue = hh & ":" & nn & ":" & ss 'concatenate both build timestamp yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss dtsvalue = datevalue & " " & timevalue  call response.write(dtsvalue) 

note: you can build date string in 1 call decided break down 3 variables make easier read.
