Re: [PHP] Age from birthdate?
Now HERES a good PHP related thread thats been going on for around 2 days...:-D Yes, but think about all the presents, hangovers, etc. they miss.

Nope, am a newbie here and I myself admit my grasp of php aint aint the best, but dont you think something as interesting as this should be discusses offlist? (And yes, I do see the irony of cc'ing this to the list...) Lastly, where in the world did you get pedant? word for the day or something? :-D Thats a real unusual word for normal everyday use, unless you were trying to act pedant?? :- Cheers, -Ryan Oh, you're such a pedant.
