Re: adding leading zeros to a date

Alternatively:

$InDate = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0, 0, 0, $inmonth, $inday, $inyear));


Slight overkill, don't you think? That's like using a regular expression to append something to a string.

Either the sprintf() methohd is cleaner, or something that is explicitly obvious what's going on, like:

$InDate = ($inyear . "-"
	. (($inmonth < 10) ? "0" : ""). $inmonth . "-"
	. (($inday < 10) ? "0" : "") . $inday);
