George,
The ODBC date syntax is best used for to make input format unambiguous,
e.g.:
select * from orders where order_date = { d '2002-01-01'}
This will allow you to select from a table regardless of the date format.
For converting a date from one format to another, select it from a table and
then use the PHP date() function to convert, e.g.:
while (list ($timestamp) = each ($result_array))
{
$new_format = date(Y-m-d, $timestamp);
echo "$new_format<br>";
}
