Doesn't work for me in 8.1
Though I placed the .inc file in where indicated, and restarted Lasso, a call to the tag returns an error, that the tag is unknown. Ideas on what to look for?

Works here.
I even downloaded a fresh copy to verify. Perhaps it has something to do with locale?

Doesn't seem to work
Sorry Jason, when I try to run this tag I get an error: No tag, type or constant was defined under the name null->difference with arguments: array: (03/16/2006 15:54:55), (-second) at: unixtimestamp Just thought I'd try your tag before adding my own :-) Pier
