[removed] output current datetime in YYYY/mm/dd hh:m:sec format

Question

I need to output the current UTC datetime as a string with the following format:
YYYY/mm/dd hh:m:sec

How do I achieve that with Javascript?

Answer 1

Not tested, but something like this:

var now = new Date();
var str = now.getUTCFullYear().toString() + "/" +
          (now.getUTCMonth() + 1).toString() +
          "/" + now.getUTCDate() + " " + now.getUTCHours() +
          ":" + now.getUTCMinutes() + ":" + now.getUTCSeconds();

Of course, you'll need to pad the hours, minutes, and seconds to two digits or you'll sometimes get weird looking times like "2011/12/2 19:2:8."
