To use dates and times in ODBC-compliant databases (including MySQL), you can use the timestamp format: {ts 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'}. {ts '1899-12-30 00:00:00'} is the earliest date and time that can be inserted into a database using this format. This is perhaps the most portable and supported syntax out there by most databases (however, a good database will support several methods for date/time objects). Just a thought...shouldn't there be some type of ODBC date/time object generation for PHP rather than have us re-invent the wheel every time we write PHP code? As I said, just a thought. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php
