[SOLVED] extacting date from a form

[will_1990]

I have a booking form and i am using js calander and this is used to input the date into the form. however when i return the data collected by the form with a table it only returns the first number eg "3" instead of "31/12/2008".

 

If you need any more info ask.

 

Many thanks

Posting some code would help

for trouble shooting, echo the $_POST value of the date input in question to see what it is getting.

another good trick for debugging is to echo your queries so you can see exactly what is happening.

Post some code where this is happening, the form and the page the form loads into (the specific parts if possible)

if your using ajax youl need to serialise the /

thanks for all your replies, im not exactly sure what code to post but ill just post some bits, it wont be easy to read because it wont be taged at the beggining. code in the html form:

 

   <td>
             <input
	       type="text"
		   readonly="readonly"
		   value="dd/mm/yy"
		   onfocus="this.select();lcs(this)" 
		   onclick="event.cancelBubble=true;this.select();lcs(this)" 
		   name="departure_date"
		 >
	   </td>

 

variable code:

 

$date_out            = $_POST['departure_date'];

 

then further down in my while loop (in an echo statement):

 

	   <td>
    ".$date_out[departure_date]."
   </td>

 

thanks so much for your responses, i would like more info on how to check the variable output thanks!

      <td>
       ".$date_out."
      </td>
