Date inside a $body=&quot;&quot;

Date inside a $body=""

Hi all:

I am attempting to write a date inside a PHPMailer body variable enclosed in quotes:

$body = "The date of the show is {date_format($datelast,'n/j/Y')}"

It keeps throwing:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class DateTime could not be converted to string in C:\Web\mysite\del\del_admission_MO.php on line 82

Any help appreciated.

Got it.

I had to convert it to a string prior to placing the variable in the $body.

$datelast2 = date_format($results2['DateLast'], "n/j/Y"); 

$body = "{$datelast2}"

try:

$body = "The date of the show is ".date_format($datelast,'n/j/Y');

$body = "The date of the show is ".date($datelast,'n/j/Y');

Would this take it to the next step?

$body = "The date of the show is ".date($datelast,'n/j/Y');." rain or shine."

yup just watch the semicolon and period placement
