Re: HTML_QuickForm Date Element

I also needed set a default value on HTML_QuickForm's Date element. At first I could not get HTML_QuickForm's setDefaults() to work. After spending some time figuring it out, I thought I would post my work for future reference. Here is my code snippet for my date element: . . . $dateOptions = array( 'format'=>'M d Y', 'minYear'=>2004 ); $this->addElement('date','date','Choose Date of Report:',$dateOptions ); . . . //Here is my snippet for setting the default date: //Set Default Date to today $date = getdate(); $today = array('M'=>$date['mon'],'d'=>$date['mday'],'Y'=>$date['year']); $form->setDefaults( array( 'date'=>$today ) ); . . . Depending on what date fields you have, change your nested array to match! Justin Patrin wrote:

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to give a default value to the date element. I want to give it values from a database record.

Yes. Use QuickForm's setDefaults().
