Please correct me if I am wrong but it looks like you are asking how to assemble the values in your PHP script into a string that you can insert into your database... if that is the case you need to use the concatenate operator in PHP. You can do this in a few ways... $date = $year . "-" . $month . "-" . $day; insert into s_objetivos_caso values ($dni,$date,$cod_s_objetivos,$conn); or right in the the query itself... insert into s_objetivos_caso values ($dni,$year . "-" . $month . "-" . $day,$cod_s_objetivos,$conn); you would need to check that second way to be sure, but the first one will work for sure.
