how do you want to format the date? Can you be more specific?

I think (s)he means having the same format and actually having the same XML, but only replace for example "09/15/2006" with "09/19/2006" when the user enters on that date.In any way, the XML save and XSL edit XML demonstrate some ASP methods for changing XML.I can't write a PHP equivalent, but I can tell you that for PHP, you need to use the XML writer, or simply use regular expressions, though I don't reccomend that for large applications. In the end, you'll need to save your file though and I don't know how to do that. Perhaps the XML writer does it.

I haven't touched XML in awhile, but you might be able to use a DataSet:

DataSet ds = new DataSet();ds.ReadXml("c:\\xml\\myfile.xml");

Once the data is in the dataset, you can navigate to the appropriate spot in your DataSet to change the value of the date. Once you are ready, you can write back to the xml file:

ds.WriteXml("c:\\xml\\myfile.xml");

Navigating through the DataSet may take some work until you determine how .NET parses your XML file.I hope this helps!
