Assuming you're using MySQL, try MONTH(). As in: SELECT MONTH(SomeDateField) FROM SomeTable http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html If this isn't a database question, but a general PHP question, try this: // For numeric month without leading zero, use "n" echo date("n", strtotime($subscription_begins)); http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php -TG = = = Original message = = = I have a $subscription_begins variable. It the date type. YYYY-MM-DD How may I find out the month value (1 to 12) of this variable?
