Date and Time

 

Knowing how to use the various date and time functions is very important for all ASP programmers , in this tutorial we will show you the basic date and time functions.

If you want to get the current date you can use the Date function .

<%
Response.Write "The date is " & Date
%>

which will give us the following

<% Response.Write "The date is " & Date %>

We can also display the current date and time using the Now function .

<%
Response.Write "The current date/time is " & Now
%>

which will display the following

<% Response.Write "The current date/time is " & Now %>

We can display the year , month and day by using the functions Year , Month and Day .

<%
Response.Write "The year is " & Year(Date) & "<br>"
Response.Write "The month is " & Month(Date) & "<br>"
Response.Write "The day is " & Day(Date) & "<br>"
%>

which will display the following

<% Dim theDate theDate = Date Response.Write "The year is " & Year(Date) & "
" Response.Write "The month is " & Month(Date)& "
" Response.Write "The day is " & Day(Date)& "
" %>

We can also get the hours , minutes and seconds by using the Hour , Minute and Second functions

<%
Response.Write "The hour is " & Hour(Now) & "<br>"
Response.Write "The minutes are " & Minute(Now) & "<br>"
Response.Write "The seconds are " & Second(Now) & "<br>"
%>

which displays the following

<% Response.Write "The hour is " & Hour(Now) & "
" Response.Write "The minutes are " & Minute(Now) & "
" Response.Write "The seconds are " & Second(Now) & "
" %>
