Re: Date format

hey mark, there are a variety of ways to do this. if you get the date in a variable in the form $date = "10/08/1970"; then you could explode on the / character and set some temp variables, then use them in a date() call with formatting... try a search on google for php date if you need source code--it should really be an easy string manipulation then date() call... jack On Monday, April 7, 2003, at 03:19 PM, Bomgardner, Mark A wrote:

List people: I aploogize if this issue has been resolved in the past, but I am new to php and I could find an answer in the archives. Problem: I have a form that a user inputs a date (mm/dd/yyyy) and I want to convert that to the mysql date yyyy-mm-dd so it can be inputed in to the database. I have tried the date() command with no luck and I am out of options to try. I can get the date out of mysql once it gets there, but putting it into the correct format has been a problem. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Mark Bomgardner ex-lasso person new php person -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
