The only problem is .... I'm not starting with a Unix timestamp. The
variable is passed from a form as YYYYmd (or 2001223... no leading zeros in
the month or day). The PHP date function allows these characters in the
string...
"Y" - 4-digit year,
"n" - month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "12"
"j" - day of the month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "31"
... so echo date("Y-n-j") would give me the output in the right format, but
I need to convert the input to a valid timestamp first.
Any ideas?? Am I missing something really obvious...it's late and my brain
is tired..
Thanks,
Tim Wright
