mask for 90 days from now 1

[harrymossman]

It seems like this must have been answered before but I'm not finding it in the posts or FAQs.

<cfoutput>#DateFormat(Now()+90)#</cfoutput>

gives me 08-Sep-04. I would like September 8, 2004. But can't seem to figure out how to use a mask to do it.

Try this:

<cfset DisplayDate =  DateFormat(Now()+90)>

<cfset DisplayDate = "#DateFormat('#DisplayDate#', 'mmmm')# #DateFormat('#DisplayDate#', 'dd')#, #DateFormat('#DisplayDate#', 'yyyy')#">

<cfoutput>
#DisplayDate#
</cfoutput>

Hope This Helps!

Thanks. I never would have figured that out on my own.

Curious.. is there a reason for seperating the dateformats like that?

<cfset DisplayDate = "#DateFormat('#DisplayDate#', 'mmmm')# #DateFormat('#DisplayDate#', 'dd')#, #DateFormat('#DisplayDate#', 'yyyy')#">

could be

<cfset DisplayDate=DateFormat(DisplayDate,"mmmm dd, yyyy")>

A few reasons..

One, I've read off MM's website that each pound sign slows down the page load the tiniest fraction.. but it still does.

Two, repeatedly calling the same function makes little or no sense.

Just my thoughts, but I'm glad Ecobb was able to help.
