Re: How do I work with dates from URL and POST?

[Ian Skinner <iskinner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A second point to realize is that any data you get from a form, either 
with get or post, is string data - *NOT* a date object.  It may look 
like a date to us humans.  Many of ColdFusion's functions will do their 
best to convert the string into a date.

But you are leaving a lot to chance if you are not converting specific 
strings to specific dates.  Just remember that "2/10/08" is February 
tenth 2008 to some, the second of October 2008 to others and maybe 
February tenth or October second, 1908 to a few archaic types.
