convert to server time is getting mixed up

[Guest]

Hi my web server is in delaware USA i have a timezone converter below which is 30 mins and the year is 2006 not 2008

any ideas why this would be and what i need to do to fix

what i need is the equivilent server datetime for the entry of the form so the hard coded date and time below should have a serverDate of ts '2008-02-02 11:30:00' but it is {ts '2006-02-01 11:00:00'}

any ideas?


<cfset startday = '02/02/2006'> // format is in dd / mm / yyyy
<cfset SMS_Time = '03:30:00'>

<cfscript>
tz=createObject("component","timeZone");
setLocale("English (Australian)");
smsDate=lsParseDateTime(startday);
hours=listFirst(SMS_Time,":")+listGetAt(SMS_Time,2,":")/60+listLast(SMS_Time,":")/360;
smsDate=dateAdd("h",hours,smsDate);
serverDate=tz.castToServer(smsDate,"Australia/Sydney");
</cfscript>

I can see why you got 2006 instead of 2008.

For the rest of it, do a writeoutput every time you set a variable and then you'll where you start getting unexpected values.
