Hi all, Thanks for your help so far - I have managed to sort out my time and date problem but there are a few points that I dont understand. The code I have used is as follows:
# get the hours, mins, weekday, day, month and year $hour = (gmtime)[2]; $min = (gmtime)[1]; $wday = (qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat)) [(gmtime) [6]]; $day = (gmtime)[3]; $month = (qw(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec)) [(gmtime) [4]]; $year = (gmtime)[5] + 1900; # test the length of $min - if length = 1 then add a '0' at the begining. $minlen = length $min; if ($minlen < 2) { $min = "0".$min; } $hour ++; I have had to do a test to see if the $min var is 1 or 2 in length: $minlen = length $min; if ($minlen < 2) { $min = "0".$min; } this is because 22:07 (for example) would otherwise come out as 22:7 - which is a bit confusing. Is there a better way to do this ???? Also I have had to add 1 to the hour var: $hour ++; even though my web space providers are in the same country as me - does anyone know why this is - I am probably being a bit daft - well it is 1am, and I have been perling for about 16 hours now !!! Gulp ^_^ Thanks for any help Anadi You are just a dewdrop, and as you meditate the dewdrop starts slipping from the petals of the Lotus towards the ocean. When the meditation is complete, the dewdrop has disappeared into the ocean. Or you can say, the ocean has disappeared into the dewdrop.
