Heres a small tip to save you headaches that I use. Since mysql has its own format for storing time I don’t set up the table as a date value I simply set it as an interger a number stored on the DB.

Makes it all real simple you get the timestamp with time() store this number in the DB when you want to use it do this :

echo $time=date(”d-M-Y h:i:s”,array['name_of_your_row']);

“Normal people, please skip over.” I like it. I’m going to steal that, okay?
Thanks for all the code! I just started with WordPress, PHP and MySQL and you might have already seen my first endeavor. Now, if I only had a good idea for a plugin…
