I guess $OrderDate is in the DATETIME format and not the DATE, in which case you'd only have, well, the date and not the time. If this is the case, then the format of the $OrderDate string will be 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'. I haven't tried, but this should work: <? list($year, $month, $day, $hours, $mins, $secs) = split('[- :]', $OrderDate); ?> There's probably heaps of ways to do this, but this is (hopefully) one. <http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.split.php> --Fredrik
