Formatting of Date on Remote-Server

Hi there,

let’s first introduce myself as a new member :wink: My Name is Mario. I’m
from Germany and producing the site www.panatura.de.

As I just released the site these days I found an error in different
date formatting on the remote MySQL-Server. Please have a look and
perhaps you might give me an advice:

Easy as is, the View: <%= @page.updated_at.strftime(“%d.%m%.%Y”) %>

On my local development site it looks like this :

formatted → 30.10.2008
unformatted → Thu Oct 30 23:50:52 +0100 2008

Through the remote MySQL on the website it looks like this :

formatted → 30.10%2008
unformatted → 2008-10-31 04:46:44 UTC

Guess, you see the question :wink: Where does that “%” result from???

Any answer will be appreciated :wink:
Greetings

Mario

I’m pretty sure you’re syntax is wrong…

strftime("%d.%m%.%Y")

should be

strftime("%d.%m.%Y")
