IF the "echo $ActualDate" is not displaying, then is it possible that the script is terminating before that statement? Also, to make sure your ODBTP setup is working properly, run the following code after connecting: $rs = $DB->Execute( "SELECT * FROM AnyTable" ); if( !$rs ) { print $DB->ErrorMsg(); die; } while (!$rs->EOF) { print_r($rs->fields); $rs->MoveNext(); } Also, you should enable ADODb debugging. -- bob > Bob, > I added the following to my code but still no success. > // $ActualDate = time(); > // $ActualDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time()); > $ActualDate = strtotime("2005/05/16 06:00:00"); > echo $ActualDate; > and I still get nothing back not even the echo $ActualDate ? > BTW The date string above is/was copied directly out of the database. > > -- > > Regards, > Alf Stockton www.stockton.co.za > > Q: "What is the burning question on the mind of every dyslexic > existentialist?" > A: "Is there a dog?" > > My email disclaimer is available at www.stockton.co.za/disclaimer.html > > -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
