[php_mysql] Form Dates

[Brian E Boothe]

Hi all :
   Im looking for a way to take the date in the following Format 
2/3/2008  and make it appear in another box as 232008  now if a user is 
logged in it takes there initails
and puts it at the end of that number so it  would be 232008BB for me ' 
now at the beginning of that number would be the job code
 Job codes are
             Electrical = 1  IT/Computer = 2 Contruction =3
  so when i enter in a job it gets 2232008BB    can anyone give me any 
examples of how to accomplish this :        thanks
