1) Where is _strdate() defined? I'm not finding it...
2) Why are you using <iostream> and <stdio.h> (which should be <cstdio>)?

You need to include
And please use code tags.
time.h to be able to use _strdate() - but please note that this is a non-standard function (doesn't work in Unix).And please use code tags.

or this, which is almost identical to what ~S.O.S.~ posted. Like most things in programming there is always more than one way to do it. Unless you are instructed to do otherwise you can choose whichever method you want. One is not any better than the other unless you make the buffer too small to hold the result. In that case neither version will work correctly.
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std ;
int main( )
{
char buffer[BUFSIZ] = { '\0' } ;
time_t now = time( &now ) ;
struct tm* local_time = new tm( ) ;
local_time = localtime( &now ) ;
sprintf(buffer,"%02d/%02d/%04d",
local_time->tm_mday,
local_time->tm_mon+1,
local_time->tm->year+1900);
cout << buffer ;

Isn't this leaking memory (aside from the fact that no attempt is made to delete the lost memory)? It is also a good habit to check return values.
Time - Displaying Current
Change the format fed to
struct tm* local_time = new tm( ) ; local_time = localtime( &now ) ;
Time - Displaying Current
Change the format fed to
strftime, as already mentioned, for the date. •

yes it is -- I hadn't noticed that error.:o
