RE: [PHP-DEV] RE: [PHP-DB] PHP and MySQL queries...Agreed. Personally, I refuse to keep date values in fields that are not DATE fields of some kind. Too much trouble.
TIM -How do "Do Not Walk On Grass" signs get there? -----Original Message----- From: Robinson, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Mysql permits all manner of formats for date/time storage, and a whole slew of functions for retrieving date/time info in useful, meaningful ways. For me, parsing date/time stuff before an insert or after a select is just plain bad practice, IMHO, when the data can go in and out in the format required without parsing, particularly with resource-costly tools like regex and the like.
