NOTE NOTE
Data formatting
Dreamweaver not only supports client-side formatting of your dynamic data; it also offers a wide range of
server-side formats, and it gives you the capability to create your own. Information is stored in databases
according to a particular type. Some fields are designated as text, others are numbers, and still others fall under
the date/time category. The same data type within a specific category may be formatted in numerous ways.
Dates are a good example of why data formatting is important. In the United States, dates are typically presented
in a month-day-year format??”such as March 31, 2002. In much of the rest of the world, however,
dates are presented in a day-month-year format, as in 31 March 2002. By default, servers are generally set to
display dates appropriate to their regions. The same holds true for currency: U.S. currency figures are presented
with a dollar sign, for example, and UK currency is shown as euros or English pounds.
