I have a variable: $rec2day = date("Y-m-d"); that displays correctly when echoed to the screen, but when I write it to my DB, I get the mathmatical answer to the equasion (1989 (2005-06-10)). What do I need to do to correct this?? TIA -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
