[solved] add time() to date() with $row ?

[tjhilder]

Hi,

I dunno if that title makes any sense... basicly I have this:[code]$month = date("m", $row['a_dfrom']);[/code]

but I want to take away 1 from it, doing -1 like..

[code]$month = date("m", $row['a_dfrom'])-1;[/code]

this seems to transfer any thing like 01 - 09 to 1 - 9 so when php checks to see if 08 is 08 it comes up 8 is 08.

is there any way of fixing this?

thanks in advance.

When you subtract one, PHP changed the string to an integer, so it doesn't have a leading zero.

Try this:
[code]<?php
$month = sprintf("%02d",date("m", $row['a_dfrom'])-1);
?>[/code]
