[SOLVED] get "YEAR" from datetime field with API

Hi All,

Maybe because my brain is fried tonight, but I'm totally stuck on extracting the 4 digit year from a datetime field inside the ready.php file, on saving a page. Here's my code:

$pages->addHook('saveReady', function(HookEvent $event) {
      $page = $event->arguments(0);

      if ( $page->template == 'book_sales' )
            {
            if ( $page->sold == 1 )
                  {
                  $page->profit = ($page->sale_price - $page->buy_cost) - $page->transaction_fee;

                  $page->sale_year = $datetime->date($format='Y', $page->getUnformatted(sale_date));
                  }
            }
});

The line that tries to get the sale_year, i.e.

$page->sale_year = $datetime->date($format='Y', $page->getUnformatted(sale_date));

breaks with a bunch of errors. Anyone have the right syntax?

Thanks!

Peter

Thanks, @AndZyk,

But adding the single quote marks didn't work. I still get this error message:

Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function date() on null in site/ready.php:12

You're inside a function, so there's no global $datetime object. wire('datetime') should do the trick.
