Is there any way to get the date from a field mask (e.g. [ / / ])? Since I can't do this in HTML, I'm assuming I can't do this in PHP either. Right now I have 3 separate <input> fields to get the month, day, and year. Then I put them together with MKTIME. Coming from VB this seems a bit archaic, but...

Any suggestions?

TIA

If you put them together with mktime() that creates a timestamp.

You can extract the date from a timestamp with the standard date() function like this:

date("date format",$timestamp);

Or if you just join the three fields, I believe you can just use strtotime(). Check the PHP manual for more information.
