Munas Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selacius Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
