Date, days and pull down menus

jonki

Hi all,

If anyone could help me out with this I would be very grateful - I am still struggling with this whole dates thing.

On my "activities" page I have the possibility for people to enter events or clubs. Events happening as a one-off event and clubs that happen of every day of the week.

What I want is that when someone visits the web page they want to know everything that happens on a Tuedsay, or, for example, everything that happenes tomorrow. I have most of it working but the only thing that I am struggling with (so far) is the entry of a date.

I have 3 pull down menus date_day, date_month and date_year and I simply want to put these together as a readable date format. (The "is_numeric" functions are there to check that these have been filled in and not the "day" field.

//this works..
$dia = $dia_1.$dia_2.$dia_3;
echo "dia: $dia_d <br>\n";

//This doesn't work
if ( (is_numeric($fecha_mes)) AND  (is_numeric($fecha_dia)) AND (is_numeric($fecha_ano)) ) 
{
	$fecha_evento = mktime(0, 0, 0, $fecha_dia, $fecha_mes, $fecha_ano);
}
echo "fecha_evento: $fecha_evento <br>\n";

I just get a blank ---> fecha_evento:

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jon

I didnt know you could use "AND", this will probably have NO effect at all, but replace "AND" with "&&"

if ( (is_numeric($fecha_mes)) AND  (is_numeric($fecha_dia)) AND (is_numeric($fecha_ano)) )

if any of $fecha_mes, $fecha_dia or $fecha_ano are blank, then this test will fail, and $fecha_evento would therefore not be set.

My guess is that if you put [man]error_reporting/man; at the top of your script you'll get a lot of notices about uninitialised variables. If the month, day, and year fields are coming from a form, then Question One of the Newbies Forum FAQ might point you in the right direction for fixing this.

Thanks guys - I'd wish I'd found that newbie help page 2 months ago when I started with PHP!!! There is some great stuff there.

Problem is sorted - thanks.
