Well My Friends, most of the Morons that heard cars are sleeping now. I am going to see if I can murder some bugs with my old Harley. Midnight bugs taste best!

Unless something is wrong with my server, it didn't like the $.prettydate->format() method and wanted a function. ;)

PHP: 
date_format($prettydate, 'F j, Y')

(I reversed day and month)

I've never been all that good at learning new languages. I failed miserably at Spanish and Basic. I don't know why I think PHP and MySQL will be any different. :(

Interesting. Worked on mine. Guessing it's a version thing or some ini setting.

IMHO your code is better than mine. Just sayin'. I'm not all that great (i never got the hang of functions, methods, or classes), but you clearly understand this stuff better than me.

Not trying to out-ignorance you or anything, but I keep needing to go back and forth through the books I'm reading just to remember what was mentioned a chapter before. Some of it is STARTING to stick, but before a month ago, I didn't know what a class nor a method were.

For some reason, while I'm reading my books about all these functions and operators, I can come up with all sorts of ideas on how to use them. Once it's time to come up with code to accomplish something specific, though, my mind goes blank, and I'm off to find code snippets.

I really appreciate you finding the snippets you have and assembling them into something that works, though! :)

@jeremy, would you mind if I "borrow" your code and perhaps turn it into a hosted solution for others to use?

I can't guarantee that I'll do that, but I wouldn't mind practicing and getting better with PHP and MySQL.

Only if you don't mind.

Funny thing man when I worked for Sun Microsystems (Creators of Java) They said their biggest mistake was making the slowest bloated Interpreted language of all time.. It does not matter as much today as it did since computers are multi-core but in the early days we had java apps back in the 90's they would literally take 10 minutes to start up on a high end UNIX system hahaha

you worked for Sun.. cool!
i don't really remember thier litle applets being slow, but then it's going back a while now. we used them on our phones. i don't keep up with it anymore but java was seen as a highly regarded language. it went like this: first learn C > delphi or asp > Java > then you're employable. times have changed
