DateConvert
DateConvert(type, date)Converts date to Universal Coordinated
Time (UTC) or UTC to local time based on
type (local2UTC or
UTC2Local). Conversions for daylight savings time
are automatically applied if enabled on the server running
ColdFusion. For information on how ColdFusion MX handles two-digit
years, see CreateDate( ). The following example
converts local time to UTC time:
<cfset TheTimeDate = Now( )>
<cfset UCT = DateConvert('local2UTC', TheTimeDate)>
<cfoutput>
<b>Current time/date:</b> #TimeFormat(TheTimeDate,'hh:mm:ss tt')#,
#DateFormat(TheTimeDate,'mmmm dd, yyyy')#
<p><b>UCT:</b> #UCT#
</cfoutput>
