MySQL Date Question......h elp please.

Hi All,
I want to convert a date......
I am given the Day of the Week, plus the Hour and Minute. I want to
convert that into a YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI format so I can store it and sort
it in the database.
The only think I know is the beginning of the week date, and the end of

the week date.......
Can anyone help?
PS: I'm writing a script in Perl........... .
Thanks,
Arthur

Ok, that's enough :)

If the Day of the Week you're given is Monday add 0 to the beginning of
the week date; if it's Tuesday, add 1; Wednesday, add 2; ...

Adjust at will if your week doesn't start on Mondays.
