Jeremy,

>>how do you 're-assemble' the 3 values into a single string <<

Hand code it. $date=$_POST['year'].$_POST['month'].$_POST['year'];

>>how would I handle the drop boxes if someone wanted to update the date<<

A little more complicated.

Easier if you create 3 arrays, one each for day, month and year and fill
with possible values, with a blank value at [0]

Assuming the date you retrieve from the d/base is formatted into the three
variables $day_selected, $month_selected, $year_selected:

<select name="day" size="1">
 <?php
         $count=1;
  while ($count<=31){
        print ("<option value=\"$count\""); if($count==$selected) PRINT("
selected"); PRINT(">$day[$count]</option>\n");
        $count++;
   }
 ?>
</select>

repeat for month and year
