 Hi GuysI am having a strange problem with an php and/or mysql. I have built an intranet that allows two users to post 'things to do' for each other, every time a post is made I have the date added so that it shows when it was posted. My problem is that the dates for all posts read out as 30th November 1999. I have a live shopping cart on the same account with its own mysql databse and the dates are accurate on that.
This makes me think I have done something wrong with php. It is obviously not reading the current date, do i need to tell the database to record the current date through php?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

  Have you looked in the database to see what date it has.  I use phpmyadmin to view database results.  Anyways it might be wrong there.  I have noticed with Dreamweaver on the insert record feature will insert the date as a date.  Sounds right, but I noticed it causes problems.  My fix was to insert it as text.  However you need to make sure the user enters the date as YYYY-MM-DD format.
