Hi,

i saw this command on the link you gave me:

$today = date("m.d.y"); // 03.10.01

Is there any way i can use -'s or /'s to separate e.g.

dd-mm-yyyy

dd/mm/yyyy

Thanks

Yes.

Just give it a try before asking.

For dd-mm-yyyy just change the dots (.) to dashes (-) it to:
$today = date("m-d-y");

Then to get a four digit year, use the capital "Y"
$today = date("m-d-Y");

Here is a link you might want to check out:
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

It has a list of the format characters for the date function.
