Thanks for the idea, but I still have to display dates as dd/mm/yyyy
since this is the normal way to display dates over here.

Isn't there a way to configure MySQL to save dates this way, and avoid
massaging dates between PHP and MySQL? That would also make SELECTs
easier (SELECT * from, instead of having to name all columns just to
call some date function like UNIX_TIMESTAMP() or DATE_FORMAT() ).

Thanks.
