Hi,

What form does datum have (Considering I am dutch, I realize that this is just the dutch word for date, and may therefor be a date colum)

If it is just "months since last..", and therefore a number, you can just

<?echo $datum;?> after the class="bar statement

sorry i did not mention it but $datum is a date field

Hi,

try:

$maandnummer = date(n, $datum);
echo $maandnummer;

edit:
you might have to use strtotime() to create date into a timestamp:
echo strtotime("10 September 2000"), "\n";
