wispas Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have attached a file with a date picker script that i ahve been using and working on. Everything works perfectly the way i want it to work, However when the date is inserted into the text field it comes out as '2011-03-01' Now.. i need it in this way as i am collecting this information and sending it to my MySQL query, but is there a way i can change it so it visually displays as '1st March 2011', but still go into the database as '2011-03-01' so i can continue to do my query as well as making it visually look good with some sort of JavaScript date formatting. Can anyone please take a look when they have a momemt. Thanks!

tomfmason Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 You should post some of the relevant code as I doubt many, if any, people will download your zip. If you are using JQuery there are several existing plugins that should make your life a lot easier. Otherwise you could use a hidden textfield to store the original date format for use in the db and then use something like this to convert that into a more user friendly version.

nogray Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 If you use the NoGray Calendar http://www.nogray.com/calendar.php you can set the date_format option to "jS F Y" and leave the server_date_format as the default "Y-n-j" you would get exactly what you need.
