Actually, time() gives UTC time, which probably isn't what you want, but you could replace it with date_str("%d-%m-%Y",time()) or something similar. -- Richard Lanyon (Software Engineer) | "The medium is the message" XML Script development, | - Marshall McLuhan DecisionSoft Ltd. | xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
