title: Incorrect Data Format using Redbean PHP and dates - stored as VARCHAR(255)
body: <p>I'm connecting to MySQL with Redbean PHP and both date and date_deux come through as varchar(255).<br>
  I assume I'm in fluid mode by default. How can I correct the problem?  </p>
  
  <pre><code>require('rb.php');
  R::setup('my connection info',$username, $password);
  $book = R::dispense( 'book' );
  $book-&gt;title = 'Boost development with RedBeanPHP';
  $book-&gt;author = 'Charles Xavier'; 
  $book-&gt;date = '2010-07-08';
  $book-&gt;date_deux = '08/07/2010';
  $id = R::store($book);
  echo $id;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong><br>
  I guess specifically I'm looking forward to the correct way to do this before version 3.0?
  Documentation not clear on what to do prior to version 3.0.</p>
