Forgot to mention... you can check it for validity easily using this method
as well:

        if (checkdate($frmStartMonth,$frmStartDay,$frmStartYear)) {
                echo "You can enter dates correctly. Well done!";
        } else {
                echo "Please visit

        }

Cheers

Subject: Sorting a date



Hi,

I would like to sort, when displaying, an "European Date" with mysql. 

Anyone can give me some hints ?

The date format looks so like : 

        01.02.2001 
        03.12.2000
        22.11.2000

and is stored in a simple field text  

(first FEB 2001)

Thanks 
GPo
