Losing comma's

I'm trying to get details from athree FComboBoxes named "year", "month" and "day" and then insert the details into a MySql database in the "YYYYMMDD" format.

The method I use below gets me an output of "YYYY,MM,DD".

All I need to do is get rid of the comma's, but the "Strip" command as suggested by other threads here doesn't seem to work.

I think I must be either missing a basic principle here, or have missed an easier way to go about it.

TIA

Code:

---


dayValue=period.day.getValue();            //  Extracting values
monthValue=period.maand.getValue();        //  from drop down
yearValue=period.jaar.getValue();          //  FComboBoxes

//adding "0's" for entry into Mysql Database
if(dayValue<10){
        dayValue = "0" + dayValue;
}
if(monthValue<10){
        monthValue = "0" + monthValue;
}

periodDate=[yearValue,monthValue,dayValue];  //  Making array

NewPeriodDate = periodDate.split(",").join("");  // Doesn't work:confused:

trace(periodDate);          // returns YYYY-MM-DD
trace(NewPeriodDate);  // returns "undefined"

---

Code:

---

dayValue=period.day.getValue();            //  Extracting values
monthValue=period.maand.getValue();        //  from drop down
yearValue=period.jaar.getValue();          //  FComboBoxes

//adding "0's" for entry into Mysql Database
if(dayValue<10){
        dayValue = "0" + dayValue;
}
if(monthValue<10){
        monthValue = "0" + monthValue;
}

periodDate=dayValue+monthValue+yearValue;  //  Making STRING

What's wrong with this approach ... were you just complicating things for the sake of it, or am I missing something?

Not for the sake of it, I'm just new to array syntax, and thanks.

I did however just discover how do it the complicated way.....

Code:

---

//NewPeriodDate = periodDate.split(",").join("");  // Doesn't work

NewPeriodDate = periodDate.join("");  // Works like a charm

Fow what it's worth.
