Still, read this
php.net/date
it has a variety of functions, dates with zeros and without...
Another thing you can do is using the mySQL manual. Did you know that mySQL
has a WHOLE BUNCH of date functions?
Cheers,

Thanks for the reply, however, that function call
doesn't zero-substitute (i.e., "07" for "7", "03" for
"3", etc.); that's why I've added this:
if ($month < 10) {
$month = "0";
$month .= $today['mon'];
}
By default, MySQL only accepts dates as YYYY-MM-DD;
PHP's getdate(Y-m-d) prints out YYYY-M-DD or
YYYY-MM-DD IF AND ONLY IF the month is two-digit.
