Hello,
I am having an issue with creating a database record and saving dates into the record. I have a form the user
enter's dates. That form calls the 'updateArticle.php' file and to update or create a new recod. Currently I'm
only working on the create record side of the program right now. All of the field's are passed from the form to
the PHP program throught the $_POST method. After that I assign the $_Post variable to a standard PHP variable,
then create the query and execute it on the database. When I look at the new record in the database, all dates are
set to '0000-00-00'. I've attempted to use the Date() function and change the format of the dates to 'Y-m-d',
however that does not work either. I've included the code below, if there is anything unclear or any help anyone
can provide, please feel free to ask or email me. I've been pulling my hair out tring to figure out where I've
screwed this up. Thanks!!!

FYI, $_POST['subDate'], $_POST['pubDate'] all echo out to 05-25-2012. The third date (remDate) is left blank on
purpose. The last echo result in the below code is:
INSERT INTO `ARTICLES`(`id`, `title`, `sub_date`, `pub_date`, `rem_date`, `body`, `imgname`) VALUES (NULL,'','05-
25-2012','05-25-2012','','',NULL)

============CODE==============
$id = sanitizeString($_POST['id']);
$title = sanitizeString($_POST['title']);
$subDate = sanitizeString($_POST['subDate']);
$pubDate = sanitizeString($_POST['pubDate']);
$remDate = sanitizeString($_POST['remDate']);
$body = sanitizeString($_POST['body']);
$imgFileName = sanitizeString($_POST['imgFileName']);
$query = "INSERT INTO `ARTICLES`(`id`, `title`, `sub_date`, `pub_date`, `rem_date`, `body`, `imgname`)
VALUES (NULL,'$title','$subDate','$pubDate','$remDate','$body',NULL)";
$results = mysql_query($query);
echo $query."<br />".$results;
remove the @@ and replace with OO to get my email address.

Thanks!!!
