couldn't be much easier than Jamie's suggestion

OK Jim

What is your recordset name? And what is the name of the date column you are wanting to use in the database?

If you look at my first post the table name is speed and the the name of the date column is created_at as in this line:
$field1 = $arow["created_at"];

Ok it looks like your record set name is $result?

So, all you need to use is the record set name and replace where I put the word 'Recordset' and replace the word 'columnname' with created_at

Then put that line of php in the place you want it displayed....

I tried what you suggeste and all I got was a blank page.

Thanks for trying though.

I have sorted it by adding a new field instead of using a date feild. It is much easier and there is only one person who will be adding the inputs to the database.
