Question

Assume that i have two variables in php:

$year
$month

Then I want to make another variable:

$date

which:

$date=$year-$month-25

So, if I have 2012 in $year and 7 for $month, $date will be 2012-07-25.

Actually, I will compare it with some date in MySQL.
$year and $month are inputted by user.

anybody have a solution?
The solution either how to make $date or anything as long it can be comparred with a date in mysql.
Thanks before. ^^

Answer 1

You can make a unix timestamp through this:

$myDate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 25, $year);

This is a pretty useful thing to have, as you can format it into all sorts of nice via:

echo date("Y-m-d", $myDate);
// Prints something like: 2012-07-25

or

echo date("l", $myDate);
// Prints something like: Monday

or

date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A', $myDate);
// Prints something like: Monday 8th of August 2005 03:12:46 PM
