Question

I have 3 input boxes with the following data

<input name="day" type="text" id="day" class="required" maxlength="2" minlength="2" style="width:60px;"> - <input name="mth" type="text" id="mth" class="required" maxlength="2" minlength="2" style="width:60px;"> - <input name="yr" type="text" id="yr" class="required" maxlength="4" minlength="4" style="width:100px;">

which when pulling using my php I want to convert to a string so I can do some stuff with it.

This is what I have so far

$dob = $data['yr'] + "-" + $data['mth'] + "-" + $data['day'];

But that’s returning 2016! Could anyone please tell me what I need to do to make it display as 0000-00-00 as a string?

Answer 1

Javascript uses + for concatenation PHP uses .

$dob = $data['yr'] . "-" . $data['mth'] . "-" . $data['day'];
