Angelo, slightly OT , but as a point of interest perhaps, $row['date'] seemed to indicate that your date comes out of a DB - you can date format stuff with sql too - I find that useful sometimes... With MySQL for example, if your date field is called 'myDate' you can do the following in the query: SELECT ... DATE_FORMAT(myDate, %d %b %Y) AS date ,....FROM..... which formats $row['date'] as '25 mar 2005'... rgds chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
