dates?

[Cheeko]

okie dokie, im working on a mod for vb3. one small problem for me is how dates are stored in the database..

how do i convert these to a readable form? how do i convert dates into the figures in the db? how do i compare them?

any help appereciated

[AN-net]

use

vbdate($vboptions[dateformat], $variable, 1);

and

vbdate($vboptions[timeformat], $variable, 1);

to transfer numbers to dates

to compare dates use the number form

i would like to know how to turn dates into numbers:)

thanks for that, helps me on my way

the next step indeed is to turn the date into the number..

i remember coding irc scripts a while ago that converted time into a number format, UHF? i dunno, something along those lines. surely theres a php function? perhaps that is the one used by vb?

/me treks off to the php docs to hunt and gather
