Hello Daniel, $date = $birth_year."-".$birth_month."-".$birth_day;
And you can try inserting such kind o' date to a DATETIME field. There's an alternative way: $time = mktime(0,0,0, $birth_month, $birth_day, $birth_year); That would return a unix timestamp that can be written to a BIGINT field and in future returned by using date("m.d.Y", $time) from your sql query.
