RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL date formats

nautilis, Leave the date in the database in MySQL format (YYYY/MM/DD) and when you need to display the date on your page, just do this: <?php explode("/", $datearray); $date = $datearray[2].'/'.$datearray[1].'/'.$datearray[0]; ?> That just splits up the three numbers, and rearranges them.
