In the $cols definition, I assign the date. However the date on the generated form becomes a text box, not the normal date entry field. i.e. it changes from 'qf_type' = 'date' to 'qf_type' = 'text' I would like to be able to assign the default date (to today), while maintaining the date entry field style. My code http://pastebin.ca/203060 or below <?php // Connection setup. require_once 'DBConnect.php' // basic classes require_once 'MDB2.php'; require_once 'DB/Table.php'; class InvoiceUsers extends DB_Table { var $col = array( 'id' => array('type' => 'integer', 'require' => true, 'qf_type'=>'hidden'), 'name' => array('type' => 'varchar', 'size' => 32, 'qf_label'=> 'Name (e.g. "John Smith")', 'qf_attrs'=> array('style'=>'background:#f00;')), 'address' => array('type' => 'clob', 'qf_type'=> 'textarea'), 'phone' => array('type' => 'varchar', 'size' => 32, 'qf_type'=>'text', 'qf_label'=> 'Phone number') , 'email' => array('type' => 'varchar', 'size' => 128, 'require' => true ,'qf_type'=>'text'), 'signdate' => array('type' => 'date', 'qf_type'=>'date', 'require' => true) ); var $idx = array( 'id' => 'unique' ); }; $tablename = "testme"; $auto_create = 'safe'; $book =& new InvoiceUsers($mdb2, $tablename, $auto_create); if ($book->error) { echo "Failure! Try again."; print_r($book->error); die; } // setup what to display. $cols = array( 'name' => '', 'address' => '', 'phone' => '', 'email' => '', 'date' => date('Y-m-d') // trying to figure out how to have today's date as the default data ); $form =& $book->getForm($cols); // add a "submit" button named "op" that says "Go!" $form->addElement('submit', 'op', 'Save'); // add a reset button $form->addElement('reset', '', 'Reset'); $form->display(); ?> Thanks in advance.
