I have a field that is stored in SQL Server in date/time format. On one
page, I only need the date to display. I am able to do this by saying:
DateValue(strLastModified)
However, this returns to me the date in this format:
05/10/2004
Instead, I would like to see:
05/10/04, but I am not sure how to do this.
What is a faster/better coding practice?
Method 1:
Code:
Sub myFunction(byRef x)
x = x + 1 ' do something with x
End Sub
x = 7
myFunction(x)
response.write x ' shows 8
Method 2:
Code:
Function myFunction(x)
myFunction = x + 1 ' do something with x
End Function
x = 7
response.write myFunction(x) ' shows 8
Also discuss considerations when there are more than one variables that need to be changed.
I am developing a simple booking system where I had a booking date. The problem is I want to make sure that the user must book 3 days in advanced for certain room.
I have tried to use DateDiff but it seems doesn't work. Actually i just 1 to make sure that the user must book 3 days in advanced from the current date. I am wondering whether there is anything goes wrong in my datediff function. Code:

I've created a DLL file that enables you to validate accounts and send emails through the MS Exchange server within the Intranet. This dll can be used from within VB, VBA, VBScript and also ASP VBScript. I'm using it in an ASP page that I've created. The DLL has a "SEND" function that will return a string value containing all the invalid accounts seperated by a semi-colon. A sample of the returning string value would look like, "InvalidAcct1;InvalidAcct2;InvalidAcct3". The DLL works like it is suppose to when used in an ASP, but it will not return the string value. I know the DLL works fine because it returns it when used in a regular VBScript or VB program.Is IIS preventing the string from being returned?
View Replies View RelatedI am using a windows 2000 server with IISLockdown and ISAPI_Rewrite installed on it. I have 2 websites A & B. ASP pages on A are working properly, but when placed one B they return 404 error. All other pages such as txt, html, asp.net work fine on B. Both websites have the same configuration, and use the same ISAPI filters.
A sample cade the is not working is, file name test.asp:
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<% response.redirect("http://www.cnn.com")%>
Do you know what needs to be done to fix that?
There are two pages main.asp and phonebook.asp.In the main.asp, there is a textfield, where the phone number will be inserted into it. Next to the textfield, there is an icon that when clicked takes you to the phonebook.asp page.
In the phonebook.asp page, there is a list of the telephone numbers and next to them there is a radiobutton. When one of the radiobuttons is chosen (the telephone number is chosen), the number (value) needs to be inserted in the textfield (main.asp page).How may i do this processing? Preferably i need to use asp together with vbscript or even javascipt.

I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters. If I run the select statement in Query Analyzer, I can easily change the "Maximum Characters per Column" setting to return the entire field, but that doesn't help me in my ASP web interface. How do I return the entire field through ASP?
View Replies View RelatedI have a form page a user needs to fill out. I want to be

I've got a site with PayPal and Google Checkout payment options. The checkout page formats two HTML forms, containing bespoke cart code - one posts to PayPal, the other to Google Checkout.When an order is placed, it needs to be updated back on my site, so that the order is marked as 'paid' in the database. When this is done with PayPal, I just provide a hidden field in the form called 'invoice' containing my id number for that transaction. This is returned in my IPN, and I update the database accordingly. However, I can't find a similar field in Google. Their example code all seems to be in XML and is WAAAAAAAAY more complicated than I need it to be. I just need to send a value with my cart code to Google Checkout, and have that value returned after the transaction has completed.
I've set up Google Callback, and the page is being called and the order is being written to my google log txt file, I just need this to contain my order id number for the transaction so I can just add the logic to update the database based on this id number.

View Replies View RelatedI have written some ASP code that selects some records from a SQL database according to a criteria, if no information is found in the database then it sees there is an End Of File in the object record set and prints the line below:
<%if objRecordset.EOF then Response.Write("No information was found for the record you have entered") %>
My problem is that if no records are found it still tries to print the information that it is looking for and cannot find and thus throws an exception. The code for that is below:
<Table Border="1" BGCOLOR="white">
<% Response.Write "<TR><TD>The date for that record is " & objRecordset("DateTime") & "<br></TD></TR>" %>
I was wondering if anybody could advise me how to return just 100 rows from a database query. In Cold Fusion I'd use the maxrows function, but not sure how to do in ASP (or can I do it in just SQL?). My code is thus :
' Retrieve last 100 records. Query then run through the query building a string
Set objRetrieve = objConn.Execute("SELECT Players_ID, Players_Name, Players_Score FROM Players ORDER BY Players_Score DESC")
I'm back with the same code, which works fine, except for when i ad the block of code that i noted...i get the error message:
ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.
/test/testbasket.asp, line 72
which is referring to the strSurvID=adoRSWEBtest4(0)
i know that the query above that is supplying webtest4 with its where check is returning a value. when i take out the noted block of code, the page works fine, and emails all information, including the value that is being checked for in webtest4. Code:
I was under the impression (according to all the tutorials) that a Sub differs from a Function in that it doesn't return a value. Therefore I interpret this as meaning if a function is initialised at the top of a page and called at the bottom the result won't be returned to the place it was called i.e. the bottom of the page.
This clearly isn't right though as both Functions and Subs return a value to where they are call from.I want to display the results of a task in a position on the page that is before the task has been carried out.
Therefore if I create a Sub where I want the result to be displayed I assumed that when I call the Sub it would display the results where I wanted i.e. above the task. This isn't happening?

The data that I'm returning from the database is stored as a longdate, but the recordset is returning the shortdate format.
For example, "Friday, September 05, 2003" is returned as "9/5/2003". I need to be able to extract the name of the day from that string.
I've thought about writing a DLL in order to take advantage of the intrinsic VB function "format", but the server where the application resides isn't mine, and they won't allow me to register a DLL on their box.
