Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '['

I'm getting a parse error on line 302:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/bhharley/public_html/newsite2/calendar/admin.php  on line 302

 

Line 302 is

$day = getdatefromcalendarformat( $_REQUEST['dt'] )[2];

 

If I take out the [2] it works, but the calendar I'm working on breaks of course. How do I fix this?

Unfortunately, you can't access members of an array returned from a function like that.

 

$day = getdatefromcalendarformat( $_REQUEST['dt'] );
$day = $day[2];

Great thanks, that fixed that but now I have one more error.

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/bhharley/public_html/newsite2/calendar/admin.php on line 575

 

here's the line 

$_REQUEST['dt'] = strtotime( $year."-".$month * 1."-".$day );

 

Thanks in advance.

If you wanted to do that you'd need to put the math inside of parenthesis:

 

$_REQUEST['dt'] = strtotime( $year."-".($month * 1)."-".$day );

 

But what's the point of multiplying $month by 1 anyway?

Awesome thanks, that fixed it as well.

 

Not sure why it's multiplying by one, I'm decoding it to figure that out. It's a calendar I downloaded and am trying to figure out, was just stuck on those 2 areas. Thanks a lot.
