I'm having a few problems working with dates (i.e. html inputting, storing in mySQL and outputting in PHP). Ideally I just want a simple text input in the form of [DD] [MM] [YYYY] and for the data to be stored and recalled in this fashion. I don't really want a Javascript calender picker either. How is this usually done?

 

Thanks

One way would be to use strtotime and date()

 

[edit]

You can see how I've done it here - probably there's a quicker way, but this works:
