<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<form name="form1" method="post" action="date.php">
<label>Date:
<select name="day" id="day">

<option value="2004">2004</option>
</select>
</label>
<p>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit">
</label>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

and here is the php page

Code: <?php
$day = $_POST["day"];
$month = $_POST["month"];
$year = $_POST["year"];

$date = date($day." ".$month." ".$year);
//$date = date("Y m d");
echo $date;
$db = mysql_connect("localhost");
mysql_select_db("test", $db);
$query = "insert into date
(
date
)
values
(
'".$date."'
)";
//echo $query;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

echo "your date is added";
?>
when i select any date from form and press submit button it adds only this 0000-00-00 to my table. i want date to be inserted to my table not 0s. how can i solve this problem
