The following is an edit entry page of a CMS I am building.

 

The date will be entered as DMY, MY or just Y according to $freq which I am setting manually for now.

 

This works fine for $freq == 'monthly' and $freq == 'yearly, but when I use $freq == 'daily' the database entry for $moj_month has rogue commas and sometimes brackets around the individual date elements for instance: '5' 'September' ('2005')

 

I have a feeling it's to do with the punctuation around the date entry as it is numeric but I have tried every permutation I can think of.

 

If anyone has a moment please have a scan of the following code and let me have any pointers if possible.

 

Thanks

You are adding them in there on your own...

 

if ($freq == "daily") {   
   // Make the days pull-down menu:
   echo '<select name="day">';
   foreach ($days as $value) 
   if ($day == $value)
       { 
        echo "<option value=\"'$day'\" selected>$day</option>";  // note the ' around $day
      } 
   else
   {
      echo "<option value=\"'$value'\">$value</option>\n";   // note the ' around $value
      }
      echo '</select>';
}

 

Remove the single quotes around $day and $value and then go through your script and do the same anywhere else it may be. And that should solve your problem.
