@jlinkels:

Thanks. I had read those functions earlier but was not clear how to use them. Will try those and then get back to you.

You are the man buddy. strtotime, and date function did the trick. No need to run the mysql query.
Thanks a lot.

PS: Assuming you to be a male.

There goes the thanks to you.

Anyhow. I am doing something that you would not suggest me to do right now that I am just couple of days old. But I want to do it. I have got an attendance machine in our organization. It is ZM300 build on Linux Kernel 2.4. I want to use php to connect to it using sockets. i tried fsockopen. I found it from google. I can open socket with it. But I do not know how to proceed. There are only two ports open on the machine. One is telnet port 23 and 4368. But for telnet I need username and password which I do not have neither can I create one. Has anyone used this machine before? or tried to open a socket on some machine like this?
