Thank you again, but that php.net midas well be in greek or latin. Because its way over my head. There are a lot of example there, but I have not found anything that I can use. You said that I was going to have to deal with the post, so I took this code and added it to the post statement. $ageTime = mktime(0, 0, 0, $_POST['DateOfBirth_Day'], $_POST['DateOfBirth_Month'], $_POST['DateOfBirth_Year']); $varBirthdate = $_POST['$ageTime = mktime(0, 0, 0, $_POST['DateOfBirth_Day'], $_POST['DateOfBirth_Month'], $_POST['DateOfBirth_Year']']; And now I'am getting a syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ']' in /**path-removed**/myform1.php on line 41 Regardless if I have the closing '] or not, I get different errors

Thank you very much for your help. I took the code you posted, and put it into a form Select Birthday: <form name="formBirthdate"> the code you posted </form> I hope that was right. For the post I have been using this $varLastname = $_POST['formLastname']; PrepSQL($varLastname) . ", " . I'am not sure how to use the second piece of code you posted. Where is it supposed to go? $ageTime = mktime(0, 0, 0, $_POST['DateOfBirth_Day'], $_POST['DateOfBirth_Month'], $_POST['DateOfBirth_Year']);

How can I build a form with a drop down menu with the year, day, month? And then send that information to a database. If there is another/better option besides a drop down menu? If so, please tell me. The rest of the form is working fine, and all the inforamtion is going to the database - last name, first name, address, phone number, zip code, race,,,,,,,,,. I work for a not-for-profit medical office - we provide medical services to the local people who can not afford to go to a regular doctor. We need a simple way to keep track of patient information. One of the things we need to enter is the birthdate. Searching the forums provided a lot of results, but the words date and form are used so much, I can not find anything that helped me. I also looked through php.net, but can not find anything there.

The company I work for is a not-for-profit organization, we provide medical services for people who can not afford to go to the regular doctor. We need a way to keep track of our patients and their visits and a way to search the data. I found an html form, with name, address, phone number, zip code,,,,,, and made a few changes to fit our needs. But I do not know how to get that information into the database. I also need a way to make sure the information is not a duplicate. Since we are a not-for-profit organization, funds are kinda tight. That is why I want to go with php instead of buying medical software. Most of the medical software on the market cost more then we can afford. I'am a computer tech here at the office, but my field is hardware, networking, and malware removal. PHP programming is new to me. So where do I start?

Hello everyone, my name is Kevin, I'am from Texas, and I'am in need of some php help. I work as a computer tech for a not-for-profit organization that is in the medical field. My experience is in networking, hardware trouble shooting, malware removal,,,,,,,, just your usual office computer kind of stuff. The place I work for is in a need of a way to keep track of medical records. Instead of buying the software, I'am going to try and develop an in-house database. We do not need anything too complicated, just something to keep track of patients and their visits. The plan is to deploy a Linux CentOS server, and develop a mysql - php powered site that runs behind our firewall.
