Help guys,
On visual editor, on add page, (edit as settings, on default value) what syntax should I use to return a value of date and time in this format mmddyyttmmss, lets say today is March 24, 2008 at 1615 and 12 seconds military time, I should have 032408161512 this value.
My field type is varchar.

Thanks for the help jane, one more thing there's one more problem, the function you gave me keeps on returning wrong time not my desired time, and I think its because of the timezone, and I can't figure out what to do. My local timezone is set at +8 (Manila, Philippines), how can php code returns me my localtime. Let's say today is March 25,2008 and 2:00pm and 2 secs it returns the value 032508060002, instead of 032508140002.

Hi,

try to use this one:


I tried this code to adjust for my local time, however, I always get the time part as 12:00:00am in the display although it does record the correct time.
Anyway to fix this so that it will display the adjusted date and time correctly on the add pages?
