Author Date Manipulation
Shannon Doyle

2004-03-26, 11:12 pm

Hi People,

Need some assistance in the following scenario:-

Inserting a date into the database that is entered into a form by the site
visitor. - This is easy enough.

However I now need to use the same date that has been entered by the site
visitor add 35 days and then insert into another table.

My question, how do I get the date entered into the form add 35days to it
and then include that into the same sql query as the first one. Or do I have
to use a second sql query? If the second query how would I get the date and
add 35days??


Cheers,

Shannon

$days = 35;
$day = $day + $days;
//calculate the new date
$calcDate = date($output, mktime (0,0,0,$month,$day,$year));

No need for a 2nd query...jus' insert the variable $calcDate into a column
in your table

Hope this helps,

Jimmy Brock
