Several issues are giving me problems:
1. I am on a Unix server -- can't get the $get_date function to work -- have tried the example from the default -- doesn't return a date.
2. I developed a custom output form for results of the search. Basically the fields are not presented on the page in the same order they are represented in the database: when I request a single item search, say by ID# everything is fine -- the fields all align properly and fill in where they are supposed to on the report form. The problem is if I request multiple item searches, e.g., all companies with a specific zip code. Let's say that 3 companies are found. The first one returned represents perfectly in the report form. The other 2 companies try and represent the data on the form in the order the data is listed in the database, not in the order I've specified on the output form. Please advise.
3. Still am trying to figure out how to associate a given userid with a specific record. How does the userid get put in the database where I have specified a user id field? For example, let's say I sign on and create a new user account. How does this id get associated with an entry in the database?
