Dear Much Needed Advisor,
I am definitely a PHP novice and making some code changes to a PHP script.
I need to change a declared output file to include the date as an extension.
My file is declared at the beginning of the script as:
var $exportFile = "Export.txt";
I need it to be, for instance, Export.051205.txt.
I have played around with the date function many ways:
Ex 1:
var $exportFile = "Export" . date("mdy");
Ex 2:
$file = "Export";
$ext = date("mdy");
var $exportFile = $file . $ext;
I can't seem to get anything to work.
What is not working with it? Did you want the .txt extension on the end?
$exportFile = "Export." . date ( "mdy" ) . ".txt";
Also, could you point me to somewhere where I can learn the difference between declaring variables as:
$exportFile = "Export.txt";
and
var $exportFile = "Export.txt"
I *think* they're the same. Personally, I've never used 'var' in PHP, and all has worked fine.
