Re: date variable plus 1 error(pls help)

I assume you want $nowdate to be a string. String concatenation in PHP uses a period character to join strings. This **should** work:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$nowdate = date('Y') . "-" . (date('Y') + 1);
$nowdate = date('Y') . "-" . (date('Y') + 1);

This may not be the best way to do it, but it should work

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$thisYear = date('Y');
$nextYear = $thisYear + 1
$nowdate = $thisYear "-" $nextYear;
$thisYear = date('Y');
$nextYear = $thisYear + 1
$nowdate = $thisYear "-" $nextYear;

I really need to go to sleep

Ive just made a little adjustment of the code you've given and it works. below is the code:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$thisYear = date('Y');
$nextYear = $thisYear + 1;
$nowdate = $thisYear ."-". $nextYear;
echo $nowdate;
$thisYear = date('Y');
$nextYear = $thisYear + 1;
$nowdate = $thisYear ."-". $nextYear;
echo $nowdate;

Thank many very much.

The first reply shows nothing on the browser but I use his technique to concantinate the string and echo it.

Thank you to all.
