Will this work?

<?php
$string = "Export.".date("mdy").".txt";
echo $string;
?>

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.

 

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"

 

Thank you! Thank you!
