Date question

[bellaso]

I am trying to add a date to a mysql database from a form. However I do not want to limit the user to entering the date as follows (YYYYMMDD). I would like the user to be able to enter the date in as (MM-DD-YYYY). If anyone can help me with this that would be great.

Thanks in advance for your help and time!!!

If the script is php, use the date function to format the input - http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Also use php's checkdate to validate.
