Re: [Illume Magazine] Adding tags in the url?

Hi,

If you mean just getting the current year and month, you can do this:

<?php
$year = date("Y");
$month = date("m");
?>


You can then use this text anywhere you want.

Hope this helps

Thank you Jason. actually what I mean was that if you visit any news site, the article URL usually reflects the year and month it was created. So for instance, if someone comes to my site, instead of illumemag.com/articleDetail.php?Article-Title-001, the URL would be illumemag.com/2011/06/articleDetail.php?Article-Title-001 to reflect the month and year the article was published.

Hi,

Okay, to get the year and month of article, you could do something like this:

<?php
$year = date("Y", strtotime($article['createdDate']);
$month = date("m", strtotime($article['createdDate']);
?>


in terms of the format of your URL, I think the closest you would get to that would be like this:
illumemag.com/articleDetail.php/2011/06/Article-Title-001

Hope this helps.
