Hi
I am working on adding records to my external filemaker database which I have now successfully achieved, however I am having some issues converting the birthday field.

I grab my field variables with the method suggested in an excellent post on this forum:

// loop through the post array //
// $key is the name/id of your field //
// $value is the value of your field //
*/
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){
$k = $key; // $k is now =to the id of the field, for example email
$$k = $value; // $$k sets your new variable, i.e. $email, to the value of email on the form
}



and then add the variable to my fields using the FileMaker API as below:


$rec->setField('Email',"$Email");

The problem is with the birthday field as it is now an array. How can I convert this back into a string (using the format DD/MM/YY) seems to only want to create the record when it is in this particular format. (I'm sure there is a way around this but thought it might be easier to convert the birthday field variable).

I am aware that you can use the implode (); function to convert arrays back into strings but not sure where to use it or even if it is the best thing to do in this situation as I am very new to PHP.

I would be very grateful if anyone can help me to answer this situation.

Regards
