Do you want an explanation of *all* the process or you have a very specific
question? There're many things involved as to explain it all: HTML, forms,
database management and design, data validation in PHP, database access...

Do you know how to do ANYTHING with mySQL in PHP?
Do you know how to send form fields to a PHP script?
Let us know what you can do in PHP.
I don't like offering complete code because I end up doing all the work, and
you learn nothing.

Hi Lee,
As others have mentioned, this is too broad a question for a good
answer from the group.
Here's a rough outline of what you need to study to work out your own
answer:
HTML-- <form>, <input>, possibly other form fields
Javascript-- client-side validation techniques
PHP-- $_GET() and $_POST(), server-side validation, data
transformation
PHP-- the mysql_whatever( ) functions (or possibly the PEAR module)
MySQL-- database definitions, INSERT queries
I think that's a comprehensive, eagle's view of the terrain. I'm sure
if I missed something really big, someone will jump in and mention it.
If you use this outline, you will probably have questions that are more
specific which the group would be able to respond to.

the data from your form will arrive in (among other places) an array called
$_REQUEST you take it from there and create the mysql commands to store it
in your table.

I have successfully used strtotime to format the date on a webpage that is
pulled form a MySQL database in the form yyyy-mm-dd.
However, in another part of the webpage, I have to insert another date that
may contain a NULL entry in the database. If I use strtotime to format this
then it enters the current date, whereas I want it left blank.
Can anyone help?

I need to compute an expiration date based on the number of hours,
days, or months purchased.
The expiration date needs to be expressed in minutes something like
'1260481600'.
How can I get the current date and time expressed in minutes?
Once I have this number I can add the number of minutes purchased to
the current date/time to get the expiration date.

I have been trying my best to display a chosen date as dd-mm-yyyy but insert it into the mysql database as yyyy-mm-dd, I know it must be simple but no matter what I try I can't get it to work.
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.
