PHP! Of COURSE that's what I should have been looking for! Boy, that shows how long it is since I've played with any of this stuff! I've got it doing everything I wanted now. Thanks a gazillion guys.

That's great, works a treat and eliminates some code to boot. We're almost there. I've searched but could not find a listing of the date format parameters. M gives me a 3-letter month abbreviation. Trying MMM to get the full spelled out month just gave me the abbreviation 3 times. Is...

Thanks, Jeremy. I kinda figured that. The reason I'm trying to find an alternate method is that I need to display this same thing in more than one template, so I'm doing it by having the code in a separate entity, then calling it as needed in several templates. This way I only have to...

Most of the spam posts we've been receiving lately have had subject lines containing full URLs beginning with http. Is there any way to trap these automatically and put them into the moderation queue?

Gotcha. Thanks.
