Re: [PHP-DB] Printing selected characters (strcnt?)

[Matthew McNicol]

Try this:
// takes the 1st character from $last_name and adds
// datetime in format of DDMMYYhhmm
$rma = substr( $last_name, 0, 1) . date("dmyHi);
See:
aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/PHP/function.substr.html

There is no "strcnt" function and your code has errors.
$rma = $last_name{0} . time();

Isn't there a tokenizer method?

I am trying to figure out how to select the first letter of from the form
field print it then append by datetime.

Here is an example:


$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name  = $_POST['last_name'];
$name = $first_name . ' ' . $last_name
$rma = ?strcnt($last_name), 1 . Datetime(?) // takes the 1st character from
$last_name and adds datetime in format of 715041200


Thanks any help appreciated
