Method Detail

{String} format(format)

Formats a date according to a few custom options, or the same rules used by Java's SimpleDateFormat class.

 <?
  var d = new Date();
  print(d.format("yyyy-MM-dd'T'h:m:ssZ")); // print date in ISO 8601 format
 ?>

Parameters:
{String} format Optional: A date format pattern string, or the word "pretty". Defaults to "pretty". Pretty printing will output time-relative dates, such as "5 minutes ago", or "1 year from now". Other formats will be interpreted via the Java SimpleDateFormat rules -- e.g. yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss will output a database suitable format.
