Date Function 2

[r0nke]

Hello

Is there a way I can see what the today's date is minus another date?

So like today's date - 12/02/2004.

But I need to see the result in months

So for the example above, my answer would be 17 months.

Thanks

check teh cfml reference, it is free, and available at

http://www.adobe.com

look for dataDiff()

you should probably read the entire manual, at least read the list of tags and function so that you have an idea of what is available, then you can reference it again to get detals when you need to use a tag or function.

first place to always look is the CFML reference.

<cfset today = DateFormat(Now(),"MM/DD/YYYY")>
<cfset past = "12/02/2004">
<cfset diff = DateDiff("m", past, today)>
<cfoutput>#diff#</cfoutput>

don't send people to the adobe/macromedia site, that's cruel and unusual punishment, because that site is so friggin slow (due to an overuse of that stupid "rich content" but that's a different rant for another day)

instead, use this --

http://www.techfeed.net/cfQuickDocs/

it might be mildly slow to load, but that's because it's downloading everything under the covers using ajax!

give it a spin, i love it
