[SOLVED] Making 4 variables into 1 variable?

[CodeMama]

I need to take this and make one variable to do a compare to a db field with a formatted date of 00/00/00

 

   $pastDays = strtotime("-30 days");


                                    $past_day = date("d", $pastDays);
                                    $past_month = date("m", $pastDays);
                                    $past_year =date("y", $pastDays);

Can't you just concatenate them together?

[rhodesa]

the date() function can have multiple fields in one:

$pastDays = strtotime("-30 days");
$past = date('d/m/y',$pastDays);

 

...but if this relates to your other post, you won't be able to do a simple compare if the field in the table is a VARCHAR...you should convert it to a DATE field and then use MySQL functions instead of PHP
