localtime

NOW. Now
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: my $now = localtime; return $now;

Using the above example, seconds = 32.

1.  Seconds
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[0])

2.  Minutes
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[1])

Using the above example, hour = 9.

3.  Hour

cvalue: ((localtime)[2])

Using the above example, the day of the month = 30.

4.  Day of the month
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[3])

The month may be calculated either as being assigned a 0-11 value (default), or a more typical 1-12 value. The month can also be calculated from the month's name, either via open or closed-end responses.

Reminder, the time captured on a local server is "Fri Oct 30 09:23:32 2020."

Default month calculation

Using the above example, month = 9. Here, months are 0-indexed.

5.  Month
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[4])

Month + 1

To use 1-12 instead of 0-11 for the month values, add '1' to the month's value. Using the above example, month = 10.

5A.  Month + 1
type: text

onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[4] + 1)

Month name (Open-ended)

5B. Month - name (open)
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue:<<END
my @months = qw(January February March April May June July August September October November December);
my $month = ((localtime)[4]);
return $months[$month];
END

Month name (Closed-ended)

The following example adds '1' to the returned value for localtime.

5C. Month - name (closed)
type: radio
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[4] + 1)
1.  January
2.  February
3.  March
4.  April
5.  May
6.  June
7.  July
8.  August
9.  September
10. October
11. November
12. December

The localtime function is designed to return the number of years since 1900, but can also be used to return the current year by adding '1900' to the response.

Reminder, the time captured on a local server is "Fri Oct 30 09:23:32 2020."

Years since 1900

Using the above example, year = 120.

6.  Years since 1900
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[5])

Current year

By adding '1900' to the calculation, the year = 2020.

6A. Year + 1900
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[5] + 1900)

Like months, the day of the week is 0-indexed and runs from 0-6, starting with Sunday. The day of the week may also be calculated from both open and closed-end responses as well.

Reminder, the time captured on a local server is "Fri Oct 30 09:23:32 2020."

Default day of the week

Using the above example, the day of the week = 5.

7.  Day of the week
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[6])

Day of the week (Open-ended)

7A. Day of the week - name (open)
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue:<<END
my @days = qw(Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday);
my $dow = ((localtime)[6]);
return $days[$dow];
END

Day of the week (Closed-ended)

The following example adds '1' to the returned value for localtime.

7B. Day of the week - name (closed)
type: radio
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[6] + 1)
1. Sunday
2. Monday
3. Tuesday
4. Wednesday
5. Thursday
6. Friday
7. Saturday

Using the above example, for October 30th, 2020, the day of the year = 303.

8.  Day of the year
type: text
invisible: y
onload: y
cvalue: ((localtime)[7])

Using the above example, since daylight savings time was still in effect on October 30th, 2020, daylight savings time = 1.
