[Q] Simple Concatenation question...

[cyanblue]

Howdy... 😉

I think this is simple concatenation question...

This is the script...

<?php
$FileName = "./Data.log";
$FilePointer = fopen ($FileName, "a+");
$nday = `date +%D`;
$ntime = `date +%r`;
$var1 = "test string 1";
$var2 = "test string 2";
$output = "$nday :: $ntime :: $var1 :: $var2\n";
fwrite ($FilePointer, $output);
fclose ($FilePointer);
?>

and the output is like this...

09/20/03
:: 09:25:24 AM
:: test string 1 :: test string 2

But I want this to be like this...

09/20/03 :: 09:25:24 AM :: test string 1 :: test string 2

Can somebody tell me what I am missing here??? 😕

Thank you very much... 😉

You are getting trailing \n's from the date function.

Try using trim() or the php date() function.

Ah... I get it now... 😉

PHP date() function does the job... Don't understand why I was calling the bash date command... 😃

Thank you very much... 😉
