RE: [PHP] Ereg question

What else are you doing with $formsave['dob']? Nothing here is going to cause it to drop a zero from the end. Your code doesn't make much sense, though. If the ereg() fails, $parts is not going to have any value, so why are you referencing $part[1], $part[2], etc... ? ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
