$date = "04/30/1973"; // Delimiters may be slash, dot, or hyphen list ($month, $day, $year) = split ('[/.-]', $date); echo "Month: $month; Day: $day; Year: $year<br>\n"; --------------------- John Asendorf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Applications Developer http://www.lcounty.com - NEW FEATURES ADDED DAILY!
