Ok tested this and it won't work. Next question is sql question but
anyway...
Can I use STR_TO_DATE() or GET_FORMAT(DATE,'EUR') to query and sort dates
to web page as a date even if the data is just a string in the db? Probably
with GET_FORMAT(DATE,'EUR') it wont work cause it's a varchar field in the
DB.
Any idea how to put STR_TO_DATE() in to the following SQL query:
SELECT event_id,name,date,time,place,type,info FROM test_table
WHERE (group = '$group') AND (type = 'Game' OR type = 'training')
ORDER BY date ASC
Thanks a lot
