Unusual Timestamp formatting problem

I have a timestamp displayed on my website using [var..now;frm='mmm dd, yyyy hh:mm AMPM'].  When the template loads, it always displays the minutes as 9.  For example, at 10:54, it will display 10:59.  At 3:02, it will display 3:09.  It does this on my local machine as well as my production servers.  I also use the mentioned format for displaying a unix timestamp, and it has the same behavior.  Every minute, is listed as 9.  What could be causing this?  I have the lastest release of TBS.

Re: Unusual Timestamp formatting problem

Can you provide the code that feeds the variable $now ?

Re: Unusual Timestamp formatting problem

[var..now] is the built-in TBS code I'm using.  I'm not setting a separate variable, this is one of the built-in Template/Script variables.

Hi Tren,

I can reporduce your problem. The thing is that 'mm' is for the month. Use 'nn' for the minutes.
