This is how I implemented a similar though not exactly the same problem: $tempdate = gmdate("d-m-Y"); $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO gennews (newsdate, newsheadline, country, newsfull) VALUES ($tempdate, %s, %s, %s); So, you only have to change the format of the gmdate what you want.d-m-Y is not the MySQL format for a date, though, so that means you're saving the date in a VARCHAR or CHAR column. You lose the benifits of all the date and time functions built into MySQL when you do that. Not a good method... either store the dates as Unix timestamps or MySQL timestamps. -- ---John Holmes...
