Topic awaiting preservation: PHP, DSN Less Connection AN Access Database AND trouble with 'Date'

I'm connecting to an access database using PhP without making any DSN (DSN less connection) but I have a problme when I try to display a field value which is of date time format in the access database. When I invoke the .. $Variable->value to be displayed I get a string of weird numbers intead of a date. The other text based fields are being outputted fine but I've having problmes with the date fields.

ANy help guys

slow down a sec sonny....take it slowly, one step at a time. First, do you mean DNS, not DSN?

Second, what method are you using to pull the data up out of the tables?

Third, have you tried running the data through the unserialise() function?

Are you certain that this "string of wierd numbers" is not simply the unformatted date? Dates are not stored in a traditional date format, and you will need to format the date when you pull it out of the database.

sorry for being to hyper just got a lot opn my ming
I never did think of reformatting the incoming string as adate :S gee whiz I really need some time out.

I'll try it and check thats for the info
