Hello All,
Kind of new to PHP. I have an html form where a person inputs a date via
a drop down select. How do I make php put a zero in front of the numbers
1-9 ie. 01 02 03 when writing to the file? I have tried making the
value="01" etc. but this doesn't work. Below is a snippet of my form and
the code I am using to write to the file. I hope I have made myself
clear enough. Your help is greatly appreciated.
//form part
<select class="inform" name="logday">
<option value="1">1
<option value="2">2
<option value="3">3
<option value="4">4
<option value="5">5
<option value="6">6
<option value="7">7
<option value="8">8
<option value="9">9
<option value="10">10
etc,
//code part
fputs($out,"$_POST[logday] ");
Thanks,
Patrick
