Date Function

[maharamDan]

Hello I am trying to pass a Date field to a database in a form.

I am trying to make the function hidden however it is not working. This is what I have

if($do == "addevent")
{
echo Please fill out the form :<br>

<form action=admin.php method=post name=myform>
<input type=hidden name=do value=addnews2>
$today = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
<input type=hidden name=date value=$today>

Title:<input type=text name=title> </input>
}
if($do == "addnews2")
{
$query = mysql_query("insert into news values('','$title','$date')");

echo "News Event added successfully<br><br></b>

<a href=admin.php>Back to Admin Area</a><br><br>
";

}

i dont know if I am taking the wrong approach. By the way how do you get the Code text area on tek-tips?

Thanks in advance.

Try taking the quotes out of the date function, I.E.:

$today = date(F j, Y, g:i a);

Hope this helps!

P.S.
you make the code window by doing:

 [code\] (just put stuff in between them)

You can do another cool box by doing the same thing, except using the word quote.

Peace out,
Peace Co.

Thanks for the help I just put the dat function out side the if statement. Thanks again.
