check string length server-side

[[djdomain]]

Hi guys,

how do i check the string length server-side?

I am using the date object to gather the current date.

[q]
var d = new Date();
var mm = d.getMonth()+1;
var yy = d.getFullYear();
var dd = d.getDate();
[/q]
month is returned as "2" which is correct
but i need to be able to check for a single char so that i can add a leading
zero before it is submitted to the database. This is also required for day.

thanks
Paul

I'm no PHP programmer but I think using simple logic it will be a simple fix.

1) check to make sure the number is below 10 e.g. <10
2) if this is true append a 0 at the end

I don't know what code is required but that's the logic behind it. If you've had some experience with PHP you might be able to do it.
