Decode and Encode Date from variables

[Marius III]

Hi there friends,

I want to encode a date in PHP5.

I have 3 variables for ex:

$day = 20 (integer)
$month = 10 (integer)
$year = 2005 (integer)

These 3 variables must be converted to a valid date for ex:

$paymentdate = EncodeDate($yea r, $month, $day);

Now I want to save the $paymentdate variable in a MySQL Date field.

BTW: I am looking for a similar function than the example "EncodeDate ()".
I my primary programming language there is a encodedate() function.

Please advice,

Thank you in advance!!!

Simply, sprintf() <http://in.php.net/sprintf> can be used like
sprintf("%04d-%02d-%02d", $year, $month, $day). For, more date
operations, you may use <http://www.phpinsider. com/php/code/Date_Calc/>

If I'm not mistaking, the language referenced to is delphi of which the
encodedate() function returns a timestamp, not a formatted string.
