As of yet I have tried all sorts for date formating for the search field to work. I.E. 2001-10-23, 10/23/2001, 10/%/2001, 10%, %10%, etc. The date field in the database is stored as 10/23/2001 and yet when a user enters the date and clicks the search button it does not display the results. I am almost certain that as the user clicks the submit button the php script is parsing the search string (i.e. 10/23/2001) incorrectly. I believe it is parsing the sting as 10&nsb;23&nsb;2001 or something to that effect. If anyone has some more information on this please let me know. I am pretty sure I have exhausted my resources.
