This is a strange question, but I want to know how I can access the Date and Time settings
Admin > Settings > General > Date Format
Admin > Settings > General > Time Format
I am using the Any+Time jQuery plugin as a date/time selector for the editor view for a custom post type. It allows you to specify a date and time format using the same settings WordPress does. Edit: Turns out it doesn’t use the same Date part tokens that WordPress does. Lame.

Ideally I want to do something like this…
<?php
$wpDateFormat = get_admin_settings('DateFormat');
// $wpDateFormat now holds something like "F j, Y"
?>
<script>
$("#datetime").AnyTime_picker({
format: '<?php echo $wpDateFormat ?>'
);
</script>
What I don’t know is… is there such a function like get_admin_settings() ?
You want get_option(). In particular:
Why don’t you write a small PHP function that maps the WordPress format specifiers to the Any+Time⢠specifiers? Then you can accomplish your goal 🙂
