-----Original Message----- From: Bastien Koert [mailto:bastien_k@xxxxxxxxxxx] > concat_ws('-',{$_POST['PO_Year']},{$_POST['PO_Month']},{$_POST['PO_Day'] }) I'm pretty sure this will error because of the unneccessary {}'s around the POST array items. PHP really doesn't like you using extra curlies around variables, it's very picky. Instead: concat_ws('-',$_POST['PO_Year'],$_POST['PO_Month'],$_POST['PO_Day']) Not trying to be anal, I've just been bitten many a time as I do lots of dynamic class and variable coding, and ritualistically try to thunk curlies around most everything. > ps. I strongly recommend validating data before you insert into the db I couldn't agree more.
