Just use a plain text field in sql rather than a date one?

I don't think there's a way to change how it's stored, you can change the order that it is outputted though, there are some dedicated PHP codes for that me thinks.

That would be fantastic, I'll have to research that, if anyone finds a way to output it to DD-MM-YYYY can you tell me please? Thanks!

You can't change how MySQL internally stores the data but it is not limited to accepting values in that format.

See here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/datetime.html for acceptable formats for DATE columns.

Thank you very much.

I want to make sure it's a date field because I'm going to do ages checks etc. later on.
