It's the the number of non-leap seconds since epoch. I guess MySQL doesn't understand that, in that situation. > the date field is empty, but it should be filled.

What the hell is wrong?? $date = strftime("%y%m%d%H%M", strtotime($date)); And that should produce, using your example: <?php print strftime("%y%m%d%H%M", strtotime("Jan 11, 2002")); /* 0201110000 */ ?> See if that works.. -- Brian Clark | Avoiding the general public since 1805!
