PHP + INFORMIX: Problems with dates

Hi, My problem is about working with dates. When I store dates on Informix (field of type "date") this date is correctly stored on the DB according with my current locale (spanish, es_ES). The format is dd/mm/yyyy. The problem comes when I "just" retrieve this date from the DB and show it in a page, without any treatment. PHP shows this date in the format mm/dd/yyyy and I don´t know why. It seems that PHP has any configuration option that says how to print dates. I've been searching into the configuration files but I did found nothing. ¿ Why does PHP change the format of dates retrieved from DB ? Thank you very much and sorry for my awful english. > \|||/ > (o o) > ------------------ooO--(_)--Ooo-------------------- > Alejandro José Jerez > Ayto. de Alicante - Servicio Central de Informática > Tlf.
