Classic ASP current date and time with Date, Time and Now
Classic ASP executes VBScript on the web server, so Date, Time and Now use the server's current clock and regional settings. They do not automatically return the visitor's local time.
Get the current date
d_today = DateDate returns the current server date without a time component.
Dim d_today
d_today = Date
Response.Write d_todayGet date and time with Now
Dim d_today
d_today = Now
Response.Write d_todayNow returns the current server date and time.
Get only the current time
d_today = TimeRegional formatting with SetLocale
Dim d_today, previousLocale
previousLocale = SetLocale(2057) ' English (United Kingdom)
d_today = Now
Response.Write FormatDateTime(d_today, vbGeneralDate)
SetLocale previousLocaleSetLocale() changes locale-sensitive formatting and parsing for the script context. Save the previous locale and restore it if the page temporarily switches locale.
