strict number of digits to be placed inside database

[deezzer]

Hi. Thanks for reading.

I'm wondering how would one insert digits in a database if the requirement is that 2 digits must be placed inside the database.

I am building a registration page, and i have 3 parts to my date of birth fields: month, day, and year.

the month and day are pulldown, and i initilize them with '01', 02, etc. but when they get placed inside the database, they are inserted as '1', '2', etc. and my face looks like this - > : |

i'd like my face to look like this - > : D

don't store dates as separate integers like that. store dates as dates. most RDBMS have a native date types. use them. if you are using mySQL read up on DATE and TIME types.
