Hi John

Thanks for the reply

I followed the link you mentioned and did spooks bit of coding and got the following error at the top of my backend admin site

Warning: putenv(): Warning: Cannot set environment variable 'TZ' - it's not in the allowed list (setting: safe_mode_allowed_env_vars) in /customers/5/9/2/irhmedia.co.uk/httpd.www/administration/includes/application_top.php on line 177

Any ideas on how to correct it

Thanks

Ian

its cool fixed the problem, just had to put a @ in front of the putenv

I tested it out but the date format is still in mm-dd and not dd-mm

I have attached a screenshot of the problem if that helps

I have uploaded a screenshot to see the problem, I circled the problem in the screenshot as well if it helps

How about this lines in includes/english.php

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%m/%d/%Y');  // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT', 'm/d/Y'); // this is used for date()
define('JQUERY_DATEPICKER_FORMAT', 'mm/dd/yy'); // see http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker/formatDate

You could have them like this

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%d/%m/%Y');  // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT', 'd/m/Y'); // this is used for date()
define('JQUERY_DATEPICKER_FORMAT', 'dd/mm/yy'); // see http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker/formatDate

Hi George

I changed it to what you said and is still the same

could it be to do with the following line

define('JQUERY_DATEPICKER_I18N_CODE', ''); // leave empty for en_US; see http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#localization

I found that in my english.php page

[ianhaney]

fixed it, i had to change the date format in the actual orders_tracking.php page

it had $month_$today so changed it to $today and then &month all is good now, all fixed

Thanks for the help though in getting me there, appreciate it

No you didn't. All you did was silence the error message.

You're probably running on PHP 5.3 which may not allow TZ. You should be using a date.timezone entry in php.ini to set your timezone. As for the actual formatting of the date or time, what @multimixer said should work. If they don't, see if an add-on or something specifies its own format.
