[snip] Ok, Mayve I need to be a little clear, I under the link below as showing
dates. What I need to know how can I take the input of 09-12-1967 and have enter into a mysql data using php as 1967-09-12? Because everything that is past from my form to mysql is not the way it was enter. Would I need to create three fields month, day, year, then take those three into yyyy-mm-dd? If so how? [/snip] Aha. $theOldDate = 09-12-1967; $theNewDate = substr($theOldDate, 6, 4)."-".substr($theOldDate, 0, 2)."-".substr($theOldDate, 3, 2); echo $theNewDate; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
