There are a few ways you could do it, depending upon the way your date it setup in your ubb

something like this will run the nix date command and slap it in a string

$date2 = system("date -u '+%d/%m/%y'");

then compare the two strings.

Thats a very good question, id have to look when I get home from work.

Just tppe this somewhere in your code, and see what it prints, if it prints the date then you're in business.

print "This is the date from UBB variable $lastjuliann";

Have you set your date to be in Julian format in the UBB? Because that could be the reason the variable could be blank.

Whats the url to your board?

Ok, Try printing out that variable again after changing the date settings in your CP a few times.
Also make sure you are printing it out in a spot where it would be used, (ie where it would contain data) just becareful not to put it inside a sub that may never get called, know what I mean?
