date field and formats

[Sonnich]

Hi all!

I have been looign at and wonder...

what is the easiest way to check a date field and transfer it into:
dd.mm.yyyy ?

Eventually I would like to accept dd.mm then yyyy is present year
(unless month < now, then yyyy++ ).
The basic thing is to format the date as dd.mm.yyyy - how?

Hi,

Have a look at the date() function at www.php.net.
It can format in (almost) any way you like.
