Ok tested this and it won't work. Next question is sql question but anyway...
Can I use STR_TO_DATE() or GET_FORMAT(DATE,'EUR') to query and sort dates to web page as a date even if the data is just a string in the db? Probably with GET_FORMAT(DATE,'EUR') it wont work cause it's a varchar field in the DB. Any idea how to put STR_TO_DATE() in to the following SQL query: SELECT event_id,name,date,time,place,type,info FROM test_table WHERE (group = '$group') AND (type = 'Game' OR type = 'training') ORDER BY date ASC Thanks a lot -Will "William Stokes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> kirjoitti viestissä:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hello, > > I made a mistake and stored date information to DB as varchar values > (dd.mm.yyy).
