****for numeric months but I need do something like that: function dateWebToMysql($webdate){ $format = 'Y-m-d'; $timestamp = strtotime($webdate); return date($format,$timestamp); } print dateWebToMysql('01/03/2008'); Where 01/03/2008 is in dd/mm/yyyy format (not the American format). What is the best way of doing this? Any ideas? -- Thodoris
