Answer 1

You're trying to create your string using numerical operators.

Try:

$facyear=(date('Y')-1) .'-'. date('y');

and

$facyear=date('Y') .'-'. (date('y')+1);

That way it concatenates them rather than subtracting them.

That is the error you are making in your PHP code. I don't know how your fields are set up in your database, so I can't say for certain if it will still insert it correctly - but at least your string data would be correct.
