Date and select menus

[Eiolon]

I have use a select menu for people to choose a date.  When it is inserted into the database, it is stored in DATE format (ex. 2009-12-31).

 

I accomplished it by doing:

 

$month = $_POST['month'];
$day = $_POST['day'];
$year = $_POST['year'];

$dp = $year.'-'.$month.'-'.$day;

 

Are there any tutorials on how to make it so when a user edits the record they can once again use a select menu to change the date?  I don't know how to separate them back out and call them back up.  Thanks!

list($year,$month,$day) = explode('-',$row['date']);

this will give you 3 separate variables to work with
