Re: Date Question

One way you can do that is create a local variable and have that variable referenced in your form in either a hidden field or a text field. EXAMPLE $date = date("l F d, Y") (outputted that would be say Thursday April 4, 2002) then your field would look something like this depending how you write the PHP <input type="hidden or text" name="date" value="<?php echo("$date"); ?>"> Hope this helps you out Jennifer Downey wrote: > > Hi all, > > If I have a feild called 'date' and the type is date when a form is > submitted isn't it suppose to automatically enter the date or do I need to > somehow enter it through the form? > > The reason I ask is that I have another form with a date type and no > reference to it in the form and it is always entered.
