Why don't you use a date format that your database supports? If i'm not mistaken: timestamp, date, datetime... With from_unix function you can convert unix timestamps to mysql timestamps. And with date_format function you can format the timestamp to whatever you like. And you get some functions to calculatie differences between timestamps etc... -- Tim Van Wassenhove <http://home.mysth.be/~timvw> -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
