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";
?>
