Unique listing id - with timestamp
|
Can't Post
|
|
I am trying to figure out a way create a unique id based on the date submitted(timestamp), type of listing, area of listing, and the file name of the listing(l0003.htm). The questions I have relate specifically to the timestamp and using the file name of the listing. How would I create the timestamp variable and use the $listing_file$ variable in the implementation my unique id?
Thanks

Hi uberforce,
I'm not exactly sure what you're after. What are you planning on doing with this unique id, and how are you going ot be generating it? Will the solution involve HTML, JavaScript, or Perl?
The number in the listing's filename can be gotten from the $num$ or $listing_num$ placeholder (which is guaranteed to be unique), but you'd need to zero-pad the number to get the filename.
Please post more requirements and I'll see what I can suggest.
Chris
