We use PHP...

echo date('j F Y');

Example of date and time:

<?php
echo "The time is ";
echo date('H:i:s');    //the time is hour:minutes:seconds - 12:04:59
echo "The date is ";
echo date ('j F Y');  //the date is day Month Year - 11 December 2008

to compare is different. You need to get the input date. Correct me if I`m wrong...

<?php
$date="date ('j F Y')";
$input_date = $var;

if $date == $var {
$var = $date;
}
else
$var = echo "Dates do not Match";
end if
echo "$date";

?>

Untested...

The possibility of the user hitting the same date is madness u sure...

select 01 11 2008

 

 

very simple php code to match a date.........

 

<?php

if($_POST['submit']){

$day=$_POST['day'];
$month=$_POST['month'];
$year=$_POST['year'];

$res=$_POST['res'];

$res=$day.$month.$year;

if($res=='01112008'){

echo"<center>Hi there mate correct date!</center>";

}else{

echo "<center>Incorrect Date!</center>";
} 
}

$year=range(2008,2020);
$day=range(1,31);
$month=range(1,12);

echo"<center>";

echo"<form method='post' action=''>

<p></p>
Please enter a search via date!
<p></p>

<select name='day'>";
foreach($day as $days){
$days=str_pad($days,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);
echo"<option value='$days'>$days</option>";
}

echo "</select>";

echo"<select name='month'>";
foreach($month as $months){
$months=str_pad($months,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);
echo"<option value='$months'>$months</option>";
}

echo "</select>";

echo"<select name='year'>";
foreach($year as $years){
echo"<option value='$years'>$years</option>";
}


echo "</select>";

echo"<p></p><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Send'>";

echo"</form></center>";

?>
