Hi I have a date that is formatted in the following way day(00-31)/Mon(Jan-Dec)/year(2003):hour(00-23):minute(00-59):sec(00-59) I want to load this into mysql table (date column) In oracle I can just use the to_date function but all I find about MYSQL seems to want the date in a specific format beforehand. Any help?? TIA JAck -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
