not really a solution, just a question out of interest because im still developing my PHP knowledge, why are you not using.... [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]$dbDateTime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", mktime($_POST['hour'], $_POST['minute'], $_POST['second'], $_POST['month'], $_POST['day'], $_POST['year']));[/quote] instead of [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--] $dbDateTime = mktime($_POST['hour'], $_POST['minute'], $_POST['second'], $_POST['month'], $_POST['day'], $_POST['year']); $dbDateTime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $dbDateTime);[/quote] ?? also what happens if you use H:i:s j-n-Y instead of Y-m-d H:i:s
