Hmmmm....... So in the receiving page I'll need to string together date_year[i], date_month[i] and date_day[i] in order to get the full date for each scheduled game. Which is what CF apparently "glues together" for the developer on the fly.
I'll try out both this method and the array method suggested by OP (I need practice working with arrays in PHP anyway).
