OK - I can do it with either 
{d 'YYYY-mm-dd'}
or
#mm/dd/YYYY#

directly in the SQL statement. But, if I use placeholders, it craps out on me. The variables I'm using in the $sth->execute() command look correct if I print them out.

So, I'm a little stumped.

bind_param - looks like it could be my ticket.

I'm going to finally go eat some lunch now. I always let stuff slip when I'm stumped like this. Then, I'm starving, desperate, and in a bad mood. Typically, a user will now come up to me, and ask me to do a file restore from tape, because someone deleted something that SHOULD NOT have been in the public directory in the first place.

When I get back, I'll try the bind_param and see if I get any luck. In the meantime, if someone has any comments or encouragement, it would be great to see when I get back with a higher blood-sugar level.
