Date formats

I read this and got confused...

I use PHP and got this:
$sql = "delete from blabla where startdate< =
to_date('2000.05.05','YYYY-MM-DD')";
$result=odbc_exec($conn, $sql);

Result: Warning: odbc_exec() [function.odbc-exec]: SQL error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]'to_date' is not a
recognized function name.

to_date should work?

At the other end i'd like to read out startdate as a date var or format
it as I need... (dd.mm.yyyy). Convert makes me confused... help
please?

SHi

to_date is for Oracle

Pull out the date and do the conversion in php. Let the database do
data things

Checkout the "mssql.datetimeconvert" option in PHP.INI.
