About getting the Last Date

[Anon]

I building a forum with MySql. But now I have a problem. I want to get the latest date posted in a table. All the dates are listed in one row, but how can I get the latest date. I've tried many things from people I asked earlier, but it doesn't work.

What format are your dates stored as?

Well, now I use this script:

setlocale (LC_ALL, 'nl_NL');
$datum = date ("j-m-Y");

Which prints it out totaly wrong, but I'm working on it. The script I had before this one printed it out as YYYY-DD-MM. But I want it to print is out as DD-MM-YYYY. I'm working on that.

Change it to
$datum = date("d-m-Y");
