Oh,
when I do that I get:
echo ($date[0]."<BR>"
; // = 2
echo ($date[1]."<BR>" // = 0
echo ($date[2]."<BR>" // = 0
for the date 2005-00-01.
heres my code:
--
$date = $row1["ExDate"];
$date_arr=explode("-",$date);
echo ($date[0]."<BR>"
echo ($date[1]."<BR>"
echo ($date[2]."<BR>"
--
when I do that I get:
echo ($date[0]."<BR>"
; // = 2echo ($date[1]."<BR>"
; // = 0echo ($date[2]."<BR>"
; // = 0for the date 2005-00-01.
heres my code:

$date = $row1["ExDate"];
$date_arr=explode("-",$date);
echo ($date[0]."<BR>"

thanks,
just one more thing I want to update a combo box to the value of the year for example:
------
// $date_arr[0] = 2005
<select name="Year">
<option selected value='<?=$date_arr[0]?>' >2002
<option value="2003">2003
<option value="2004">2004
<option value="2005">2005
<option value="2006">2006
<option value="2007">2007
<option value="2008">2008
<option value="2009">2009
<option value="2010">2010
<option value="2011">2011
<option value="2012">2012 </option>
</select>

is this correct? but this doesn't seem to work.

No, it doesn't work that way. You need the "selected" keyword to optionally appear anywhere in that option group, not just one line. It's best to generate the combo box by looping:
This would place the "selected" switch at the right location in your option group, whenever $date_arr[0] matches a value in the option group. -------------------------------------------

Code:
<select name="Year">
<?php
for($i = 3; $i <= 12; $i++)
{
$year = 2000 + $i;
echo "<option ";
if($date_arr[0] == $year)
{
echo "selected ";
}
echo "value='$year'>$year \n";
}
?>
</select>This would place the "selected" switch at the right location in your option group, whenever $date_arr[0] matches a value in the option group. -------------------------------------------
