Text fields - Text and integers

[eze102]

Hello - Total newbie here. 

I'm using the Profields module to make a table for settings. I would like for one row to contain a "copyright date" with a corresponding integer value according to https://processwire.com/talk/topic/8373-use-delimited-texarea-table-or-yaml-for-settings/

I have this code (courtesy of @Macrura) 

$copyYear = 2015; // Set your website start date
$curYear = date('Y'); // Keeps the second year updated
echo $copyYear . (($copyYear != $curYear) ? '-' . $curYear : '');

 

I want to set the value for $copyYear in a text field. Will it be parsed as an integer?

 

 

Thanks!!

$copyYear doesn't need to be an integer. It's only compared to a string value, so it can just stay in a text field.

Ah ok! Thanks!
