I thought I would call my question stupid just to raise some eyebrows to those who might like to flame me for not reading some basic php/mysql books. Fact is - I have - I have been working with some scripts where I can change them and expand on them to suit my needs. I really don't think my question is stupid. It is just that time is of the essence and I am optimistic that I might make some friends to help me with some quick answers to get my scripts running. OK, sorry for the long winded info. For today I will ask for a script that will gather emails from the email field of a table in a database and send a news letter to those emails. How do I compose the email formatted with html for a professional look and send it to everyone in the database. If I haven't got myself kicked of this list yet, here is another basic question. I want users to be able to select a date for their schedule. I do not want them to have to follow the format of yyyy-mm-dd I just want them to select a month from a pulldown, then a day, and then a year. (I have all this set up all ready) What is confusing me is the part where I need to think out of the box a bit and combine there three selection into a date field. Like $month + $day + $year INSERT $month$day$year into $date; and come up with something that looks like 2006-08-13 I hope you know what I am trying to do here. Have I made any friends yet?
