Simple Question

[Munas]

Guys, I am a complete newb and can't figure this out. Basically, I need to take the following line:<INPUT name="startdate" value="20041125" type="hidden"> And make it so it enters the current date into the value field. It must be in the yyyymmdd format.Again, I am sorry for asking such a basic question. Any help is appreciated.

Im assuming that since your posting this in the php forum, that your form is based inside a php page. If so, then the answer has two possibilities. a) You can insert the date on the form side of the page, or:) Insert the date on the submitted side of the form (page that the form sends you to).Either way the code will look like this:$today = date("Ymd"); Which will output it like 20060405If you want to add slashes to it you can do:$today = date("Y/m/d"); Now if you are going to put it on the form page then all you do is this:<INPUT name=startdate value=$today type=hidden> Assuming your form is in the <? ?>, but if its not then it will look like this:<INPUT name=startdate value=<?=$today;?> type=hidden>
