RE: [PHP] Forms and MySql date
I apologize
the correct order is -MM-DD so you would do:
$mysqldate = $_POST["year"]."-".$_POST["month"]."-".$_POST["date"];

To avoid user error (remember, 90% of internet users are stupid and
illogical and don't know anything), just have drop down menus for the dates
and months and allow the user to enter in the year
then just do:
$mysqldate = $_POST["month"]."-".$_POST["date"]."-".$_POST["year"];

Hi,
You can let the users enter a date as 20-02-2003 into a textfield with the
name $userdate
Then you can use this function to convert it;
$date_array = split("-", $userdate);
$mysqldate = $date_array[2]."-".$date_array[1]."-".$date_array[0];
Store $mysqldate into the database!
Regards,
Frank

[PHP] NULL character help
http://www.psikon.com/vartest.php http://www.psikon.com/vartest.phps how can I get rid of that null character or am I forced to use sub_str in this case? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Arrays as pointers?
A friend of mine showed me this code recently.
function firstLogin_string() {
mt_srand(make_seed());
$pool = "AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlM";
$length = 26;
for($i=0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$key .= $pool[mt_rand(0,strlen($pool)-1)];
}
return $key;
}
look at the for loop. $pool is not an array but is being treated as such and
the key happens to be the position in $pool and it'll take that letter and
save it to $key. I've never seen this done before. What is this method
called and what other neat tricks can you do in respect to this?
