2 small php problems

[Wimnat]

Evening all,

I think it's way past my bedtime because these aren't working for me and i can't see why...

1. $dateadded = date(Y-m-d);
echo "date added: ", $dateadded;

It just outputs "date added: 0"

2. $name = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', '', $fullName);
echo "pub: ", $fullName;

Output if the $name was John Smith is still John Smith i.e. it doesn't remove the space.

Help please! I want to go to bed this side of 1am!

echo "date added: " . date("Y-m-d");

For the second one, use str_replace() for such a simple replacement

Cheers for that.

I know it must be late... i want date() in a variable so i could pass it to mysql db. Then i realised mysql has one of those lovely date functions!
