PHP - Select Tomrows Date

I have a calendar select date function for my form that returns the date in the calendar format for USA: 02/16/2012.  I need to have this appear as is for the form and in the db for the 'record_date' column, but I need to format this date in mysql DATE format (2012-02-16) and submit it at the same time with another column name 'new_date' in the database in a hidden input field.  Is there a way to do this possibly with a temporary table or something?

Any ideas would be welcome.

hi, what is the proper way to to

$now
$next tuesday

select * where date is between now and next tuesday

thanks all

So I have this program I purchased and it allows me to create custom form fields. I have been trying to create a date select box but have been struggling because I am just learning php. I was wondering if someone could lend a hand.  I will try and give as much info as i can.  First I will show a picture of the custom field box and then i will give the description of both boxes that the company gave me. Next i will give you the php code i have been trying to work with. Please if my code is not the best then i will take any advice. I found the code for the date selector online.



Parsed Default Value  -   You may specify a variable or a function as the default value; for example $_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT] or mktime()


Parsed PHP Code -    You can specify actual PHP code that will be used to return a variable. // You should assign the value you wish to use to the variable $str.


Code: [Select]

Hi all,

I have done a script that works fine on a single basis...

SELECT * FROM company
WHERE so <> 0
AND so_active = 'yes'
AND DATE_FORMAT(so_start_date, '%e') = '18'
ORDER BY company_name ASC

The problem I have is when I try to do a range...

SELECT * FROM company
WHERE so <> 0
AND so_active = 'yes'
AND DATE_FORMAT(so_start_date, '%e') BETWEEN '5' AND '26'
ORDER BY company_name ASC

It should return at least 1 result as I am looking for '18', any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks.
