Combining form fields

[dmschenk]

How can I combine several form fields together to fill one DB field.

Basically what I want to do is have several combo boxes combined to create a date like this:  March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm

one for each portion of the date

Creating the indiviual comboboxes is easy enough, (even I can do it) but to get them into one DB field is difficult for me.

How do I go about this?

 

Thanks

Dave

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

var mon = document.form1.select1.selectedIndex].value; --> "March"
var dat = document.form1.select2.selectedIndex].value; --> "10"
var yea = document.form1.select3.selectedIndex].value; --> "2001"
var tim = document.form1.select4.selectedIndex].value; --> "5:16 pm"
var out = mon + " " + dat + "," + yea + ", " + tim;

alert (out); --> alerts "March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm"
</script>

In PHP also, you can concatenate all elements into one variable by just doing like the below one

 

$combined_date = "$month $day, $year, $time";

 

The Variables in the right side are got from the previous page as GET [or] POST values.
