Re: illuminate, remove Year in birthday field in cake 1.3

hi Jeremy Burns,... thank you for your reply,... 

Actually,... yes I thought about it, to create additional field "dob" in users table, bud then again how do I add ONLY Month and Day into it,... You See,... when user signup to a site,... I use this format 

<?php echo $this->Form->input('birthday', array('label' => 'Birthday', 'dateFormat' => 'DMY', 'minYear' => date('Y') - 80, 'maxYear' => date('Y') - 5 ))  ?> 

to create "birthday" filed which need to calculate his/her age e.g. 

  function age($birthday)

  {

      list($year,$month,$day) = explode("-",$birthday);

      $year_diff  = date('Y') - $year;

      $month_diff = date('m') - $month;

      $day_diff   = date('d') - $day;

      if ($day_diff < 0 || $month_diff < 0)

        $year_diff--;

      return $year_diff;

    }

now the problem is how do add additional into "dob" field ONLY Month and Day on initial signup,... ??

Have you thought about adding month and day fields to the table and populating them beforeSave? Less processing required when you want to run your cron job.

Hi guys,... can anyone help me please

Ho w can I illuminate (remove) Year in "birthday" field from users table? The concept is to find ONLY Month and Day (e.g. 06-21) from 1964-06-21 

I'm doing this cronjob feature to send email to friends of a user once the Birthday is reached... e.g. $this->Email->subject = ucfirst(i18n::translate('your friend'))  . ' : ' . $user['User']['firstname'] . ' ' . ucfirst(i18n::translate('celebrating birthday')); on a Social Network site. 

thanks in advance
