Chapter 3: ColdFusion Functions
Parameters
Usage
This function uses Java standard locale formatting rules on all platforms.
When passing date/time value as a string, enclose it in quotation marks. Otherwise, it is
interpreted as a number representation of a date/time object.
To calculate a difference between time zones, use the
GetTimeZoneInfo
function.
To set the default display format of date, time, number, and currency values, use the
SetLocale
function.
If no seconds value is passed to this function, and the mask value is
s
, the default output seconds
format is one zero; for example,
lstimeformat(6:39, "h:m:s")
returns
6:39:0
. If the mask
value is
ss
, it returns
6:39:00.
Example
<h3>LSTimeFormat Example</h3>
<p>LSTimeFormat returns a time value using the locale convention.
<!--- loop through a list of locales and show time values --->
<cfloop LIST = "#Server.Coldfusion.SupportedLocales#"
index = "locale" delimiters = ",">
<cfset oldlocale = SetLocale(locale)>
Parameter Description
string
•
A date/time value
•
A string that is convertible to a time value
A date/time object is in the range 100 AD–9999 AD.
mask
Masking characters that determine the format:
•
h: Hours; no leading zero for single-digit hours (12-hour clock)
•
hh: Hours; leading zero for single-digit hours. (12-hour clock)
•
H: Hours; no leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock)
•
HH: Hours; leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock)
•
m: Minutes; no leading zero for single-digit minutes
•
mm: Minutes; leading zero for single-digit minutes
•
s: Seconds; no leading zero for single-digit seconds
•
ss: Seconds; leading zero for single-digit seconds
•
l: Milliseconds
•
t: One-character time marker string, such as A or P.
•
tt: Multiple-character time marker string, such as AM or PM
The following conform to Java locale-specific time encoding standards. Their exact
formats depend on the locale:
•
short: includes hours, minutes; may include AM or PM
•
medium: includes hours, minutes; may include AM or PM
•
long: medium plus time zone
•
full: long, may also include an hour designator
The default value is short.
