hi to all, I have a drop down menu where users will select a word. After they submit it, I will generate a code number where I want to display the first three characters of the word they selected follow by Month and Date and three number that will be generating randomly. I don't have any problem displaying the MM/DD and the three numbers, but I don't know how to get the first three characters.
//first page <select name="word"> //second page $firsThreecharacter = $word; //here is MM/DD $date = gmDate("md"); $number = rand(100,999); $code_number = $str_char.$date.$number; echo $code_number." "; Any help is greatly appreciate it Many thanks in advanced Nato -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
