Thanks to BigDog and John Holmes for their suggestions. I figured it out: it was rather easy, in hindsight, of course:
<?php $today = getdate(); $month = $today['mon']; . . . $query = "SELECT * FROM guest WHERE pdate ~ '{$month}'"; . . . ?> Works as expected. Regards, Andre -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
