At the moment the date is displayed as dd-MM-yyyy but of course this won't add to the mysql database, if I change the display to yyyy-MM-dd then it displays in that format (which I don't want) but will add to the database OK.
I had thought that I could change one of these sections (quoted below) to reformat the date but whatever I tried just failed, I am posting here as it may be something I need to change in the Javascript rather than the PHP/MYSQL parts.
Thanks for any help offered.
