Synopsis

ParseDateTime(datestring [, conversiontype])

Returns a valid ColdFusion date/time object from datestring. An optional conversiontype may be specified. Valid entries for conversiontype are POP and Standard (the default). If POP is specified, datestring is converted to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) using the English (U.S.) locale. If Standard is specified, no conversion is performed. Examples:
