actually, i now realise it's not quite working.

example:

$today="01-nov-2004";
$st = $today;
$thedate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($st));

returns $thedate=2003-11-12

instead of 2003-11-01

This worked for me. Look at your code again

$st = "01-nov-2004";
$new = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($st));

thanks. i figured it out. i was running it before my split() to break apart the lines i'm processing. i moved it to after and of course then it started working.

thanks again for your great help!
