the format of $fulldate is what you posted:
Thu Jul 14 07:37:05 2005

You could also do:
Code:
//say $asctime(ddd mmm dd hh:nn:ss yyyy)

//say $asctime(mm/dd/yy hh:nn:ss) returns 07/14/05 07:41:10

//say $asctime(dddd) the $ord($asctime(d)) of $asctime(mmmm) at $asctime(h:nn TT)
returns Thursday the 14th of July at 7:43 AM


does this help?
