I have one of those widget calendars. Mysql keeps throwing back the date regardless of the way I format it. I'm passing session variables over to the database and have tried quotes ' around the date as well. Now I went ahead and changed this line: $_SESSION['f3k'] = $_POST['DateAvailable']; to $_SESSION['f3k'] = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,substr(3,5,$_POST['newdate']), substr(0,2,$_POST['newdate']), substr(6,10,$_POST['newdate']))); I now tried to pass 'newdate' into the database and still rejected.
