Setting the ORDER DATE?

6/03/2009 1:00 pm | #1 Peterson Design Studio - jefferis

I have tried using the dynamic field for setting the date in the Orders Database using this php:
<?php date("Y.m.d") ?> and
<?php date("d.m.y") ?>

But either way, it is returning in the MySql Database.
2006-03-09 it is actually 6-3-2009
The field is set to Date type and I've tried eCart both as text and as date type...
'What would be the proper way to correct this function?

Mysql only accepts one format when inserting or updating: date("'Y-m-d H:i:s")

If you want to reformat it you can do that when you display it.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

This worked, thanks:

<?php date("Y-m-d"); ?> It seemed to work with the hyphens but not the periods.
