A simple associate array would work as well, although not quite as elegent.
$months_arr = array("January"=>01, "February"=>02...);-----Original Message----- From: Mark Bomgardner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 12:35 PM To: Php-Db Subject: [PHP-DB] Date Conversion PHP 4.4/MySQL 4.0 I am tying to convert a date to put into a database from a string (ie: January, February) to a numeric value (ie: 01,02). I am taking the value from a form, which is a drop down menu listing the months. $sMonth1 = $_POST['Smonth']; returns the money selected from the form. When I go to format the month from a string to numeric with date('m',strtotime($sMonth1)); it returns 12, no matter which month I select. In reading the docs at php.net, date('m',strtotime($sMonth1)); is correct to reformat from a string to a time format. What am I missing. mark bomgardner -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
