thanks. just confirms that witango isn't y2k compliant in that a 2-digit year will always be force to last century, and coders need to be on guard to code in rules to make proper assumptions when a 2-digit year comes in.

It is called a 4 digit year. E.g. 2003


There is no ambiguity.

If you only collect 2 digit dates try something like this:

If mydate is > 20
    mydate = '19' + mydate
Else
    mydate = '20' + mydate

This is only pseudo code so you will have to code it with the correct
syntax.

INSERT INTO forum (subject,author,email,date,message) VALUES (?,?,'',{

What's the cure?? I can protect against it to a certain extent, but is
there some config someplace that I need to deal with?

If you see it as 1903-01-02 in the debug then it is witango, else it is
mysql.


If you are using T2k then it could be T2k.
Since the big fallout of y2k I got into habit of enter 2003 or 1903
fully. Mostly I provide a popup calendar to just click.

Hope this helps

I just created a new record taf and created an entry that is 1/2/03 in
a date field. I looked at the record in mysql and it was 1903-01-02.
Where is the Y2K problem?
