searls03 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 How can I make it so that $year-$month-$day is the value of $shutoff. So when it posts to database, it will be in date format..........so something like $shutoff = $_POST['$year-$month-$day'] or [year-month-day]. Those are dashes not minuses.........is that correct format also? How do I do something like this?

fugix Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 $shutoff = $year . "-" . $month . "-" . $day; should be what you are looking for Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/235198-multiple-strings-being-value-of-one-string/#findComment-1208679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugix Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 are you setting your $year $month $day vars to $_POST vars? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/235198-multiple-strings-being-value-of-one-string/#findComment-1208680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Assumes your form fields are named 'year', 'month', and 'day' . . . $date = "{$_POST['year']}-{$_POST['month']}-{$_POST['day']}"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/235198-multiple-strings-being-value-of-one-string/#findComment-1208681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
searls03 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Assumes your form fields are named 'year', 'month', and 'day' . . . $date = "{$_POST['year']}-{$_POST['month']}-{$_POST['day']}"; that the form names, but the field in database will be called shutoffdate.........so I need those three pieces to submit to one field.

Pikachu2000 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The full date in YYYY-MM-DD format is assigned to the $date variable, so that's what you'd use for the value to insert into the field in the query string.
