I am needing some help with date field issues.
I have a date field that I am saving to the db as local(now()). Then when it gets pulled from the db it is one day in the past. Then when I display it with local or with out local it is two days in the past. I have even got rid of the local when saving to db and it still does the same thing. Does any one have any suggestions?

I figured out the issue. It is all because we had the db set up for a date field and the local() and gmt() functions only work with a datetime items. So every time I pulled the date from the db it would lose a day and the local() and gmt() functions wouldn't work to convert it to the right date.

Thanks for the help!
