I'm wondering if there is an easy way to redirect users from a custom url to a specific page. For example, User types in: www.mysite.com/programname and ends up at: www.mysite.com/programs.php?programID=17 Not sure if this specifically falls under PHP but I've gotten help here before and thought I've give it a shot. Thanks in advance for the help.

Like I said ... I inherited the project. I've been in touch with the server admin about migrating the files to a server with updated versions. Until then, I'm just trying to make it work. What do you mean by input string, Ken? Which code piece are you referring to?

Thanks. I tried that and in place of the date I get the following error displayed on the page: Warning: date(): Windows does not support dates prior to midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970 in D:\root\username\domain\www\index.php on line 256 Not really sure what to do now.

I've inherited a project on server a MySql 4.0 database running php 4.3. The problem is the timestamp info is stored as yyyymmddhhmmss. I need to echo this as a readable timestamp. i.e. (June 14th, 2010 06:29:21) etc. Is this possible? On the forums I've read it seems that in Mysql 4.1 is where the timestamp improved drastically. Does anyone know how to code this? Thanks in advance.

I'm starting a new project and I'm by no means an expert with PHP so I need a push in the right direction. I have a restaurant client that has a room specifically for events. They would like to have an online calendar wherein a potential customer could pull up a specific month and see a standard calendar page for that month but with the days that the room is booked designated somehow. (Maybe the open days are in blue and the booked days are in red, or something). They also want the staff to be able to update the calendar via online form. I know that there are probably many ways to go about this but I'd like to do it the most efficient way. I'm not looking for code or someone to do the work for me, just some general suggestions on what might be the best way to go. Thanks in advance.

So far my experience with PHP and MySQL is pretty limited - mostly using Dreamweaver MX. What I need to do is construct a user login page using PHP which authenticates the user and then redirects them to a specific page based on their login. There would be a finite number of users (about 6) and six unique pages to redirect to. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or briefly explain how I would go about doing this? Thanks in advance. Robert
