Hi,
Assuming your dates have the format you specified and that you only want to
compare dates, not time aswell.
$str_sql = "SELECT something FROM mytable WHERE LEFT(my_datetime, 10) = '" .
str_replace("/", " ", $form_date) . "'";
or if day / month is reversed in MSSQL
$str_sql = "SELECT something FROM mytable WHERE LEFT(my_datetime, 10) = '" .
substr($form_date, 3, 2) . " " . substr($form_date, 0, 2) . " " .
substr($form_date, 6, 4) . "'";
