Simple date issue.

[Jesse_Smith]

I got some code that selects a random date over the last seven days but the date shows up wrong.

$minrandomdate = 1;
$maxrandomdate = 7;
$randomdate = int($minrandomdate + rand($maxrandomdate - $minrandomdate));

my $day = DateTime->today(time_zone=>'local');
$day->subtract( days => $randomdate );

spits out

2018-01-06T00:00:00

How do I change it so it shows up as

01/06/2018? I think I need a %D or %x in there some where.

Try:

'%m/%d/%Y'

or

'%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p'

Where ever I try putting it in, I just get the Internal Server Error Message.

check your server error log file for clues
