RE: [PHP-DB] Datetime help in an INSERT...

I just responded to a separate but similar suggestion. The form elements, including the buttons, are all generated in a separate function. I am currently passing about 5 variables into this function and I am a little hesitant to pass any others. I am not sure about complexity, performance, etc. in passing so many variables into a function. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on this. I doubt that this is happening, but I would really like for the code to be as easily maintainable as possible. -----Original Message----- From: jay@advmed.com [mailto:jay@advmed.com] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 9:48 AM To: NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI) Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Datetime help in an INSERT... a button is being pressed? so it is processing a form? if its in a form just pass along the value of $td via hidden input data... <input type="hidden" name="td" value="<? echo $td; ?>"> jay merritt jay@advmed.com jaycell@advmed.com > OK.
