Sorry, my Xorg crashed. A word of wisdom: don't try the new
Compiz-Fusion on KDE with dual-headed setups yet. Let the bugs get
worked out first (or risk having a conspicuous hole in the wall the
size of your forehead like I will in a few days).
To your issue:
* What are you passing to parameter #1 of fMakeWideDate()
(then dubbed $thisdate)?
* Mktime() should be mktime(). It'll still work, but for
cleanliness, it's a recommendation.
When I run the function like so, it works without fail:
<?php
echo fMakeWideDate(date("m/d/Y"),1)."\n";
echo fMakeWideDate(date("m-d-Y"),1)."\n";
echo fMakeWideDate(date("Y/m/d"),2)."\n";
echo fMakeWideDate(date("Y.m.d"),2)."\n";
?>
Are you correctly passing the date? What do you see when you echo
out the MySQL rows?
