Personally, I'd use %b rather than %m - the one that puts 'Jul' in rather than '7'. It makes things a bit more explict which is great when one has to cope with the fact that you've got an international audience part of which expects m/d/y and the rest expects d/m/y. Just a thought. cheers, -- iain. <http://eh.org/~koschei/> |
