Hi altnetwork,

In OnSubmit before put

<?php
$temp = JRequest::getString('field_name', '', 'post);
$temp = "08".$temp."OR";
JRequest::setVar('field_name', $temp, 'post');
?>

Thanks, I see how you are doing that and it makes sense.

I need to have the end user select the two digit year. Will the code below work.

field_name_year would be the two digit year from a pull down and the field_name would be the number they would enter into the field.

<?php
$temp = JRequest::getString('field_name_year', 'field_name', 'post);
$temp = $temp."OR";
JRequest::setVar('field_name', $temp, 'post');
?>

No, it should be :

    <?php
    $temp = JRequest::getString('field_name_year', '', 'post).JRequest::getString('field_name', '', 'post);
    $temp = $temp."OR";
    JRequest::setVar('field_name', $temp, 'post');
    ?>
