    Before I start I'm clueless when it comes to PHP.

    In my database it is generating an American date format mm/dd/yyyy

    I want to make this into a UK date format dd/mm/yyyy

    Is there a php code to convert this?

    :rolleyes:

function ukdate($usdate)
{
	return date('d/m/Y', strtotime($usdate));
}

// Outputs: 28/12/2006
echo ukdate('12/28/2006');

    Another question...

    I have a field called 'holiday type' the data in the field is 'Golf' but when I want to display it on the php page I want it to be 'golf' i.e. no capital G. Is there a way around this?
