note 52062 added to function.date

when I used function date() to insert date to MySQL this way: $today = date("Y m d"); date was inserted as zeros like this 0000-00-00. But when I used dashes in the function : $today = date("Y-m-d"); it worked just fine. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52062 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52062&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52062&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52062&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52062&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52062&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52062&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
