[FX.php List] dates again

[Roger Price]

Jon

Thank you for the suggestion but I think I understand how to format dates 
for display using PHP. However I am not sure what format I should use to 
input dates into an FMP field using FX.PHP. If I post as dd/mm/yyyy will it 
be saved as this (as it would if I entered it directly into FMP) or 
transposed into mm/dd/yyyy?

Roger
