kreut Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hello all, I'm collecting date/time information via a form and would like to convert the info into something that I can stick in my MySql database (a timestamp???). I'm collecting the current month (variable name: month-- of the form "mm"), day (variable name: day -- of the form "dd"), year (variable name: year -- of the form "yyyy"), time of day (variable name: time -- of the form "h:00"), and before or after noon (variable name: ampm -- of the form "am" or "pm"). Any suggestions as to how to change this into a quantity that I can store as a value and then use to compare to other date/times would be appreciated. Thanks!
