Ummm.... That's a good reason!  As I said, I'm a newbie to PHP, and 
somewhere along the line I got the idea that there was an actual date 
data type.  I don't know where I got that idea; the book I've been using 
certainly doesn't say that it does, although I thought I did.

It's times like this that I wish that I had smaller feet or a larger 
mouth, to make it easier to remove the one from the other!

Thanks.
