Problem:
isDate function gives incorrect results. dateFormat and LSDateFormat give inconsistent results
Method:
Certain incorrect date strings can be identifed as valid by isDate, even though they are missing certain elements. Such a string may also be output by dateFormat (with an assumption inserted for the missing element), but will throw an error in LSDateFormat.For example, the date string 'Fri May 28 13:04:32'. (Note the missing year). isDate identifies it as a valid date. DateFormat outputs it with an assume year (01). LSDateFormat errors out. The following sample page code illustrates the problem:<cfset dateString = 'Fri May 28 13:04:32' /><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><title>Insert title here</title></head><body><cfoutput><p>Testing the value of the date string: The string is 'Fri May 28 13:04:32'.</p><p>The result of an isDate test on the string is: #isDate(dateString)#.</p><p>Now let's format the string: #LSdateFormat(dateString,'short')#</p></cfoutput></body></html>
