I'd actually like to use MySQL's builtin date formats, but I like the timestamp that PHP uses (and I like what I can do with a timestamp in the date() function) so I have been using VARCHAR(20) to hold the date as a string. MySQL's TIMESTAMP is not the same thing as PHP's. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
