[SOLVED] Use date() as html <input value ?

[br3nn4n]

Code:

 

<?php
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"page\" value=\"<?php date(D); ?>\">";
?>

 

Results in a text box with the text "<?php date(D); ?>" in it. How do I do it?

 

TIA

<?php
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"page\" value=\"".date("m.d.y")."\">";
?>

either do this:

 

<?php
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"page\" value=\"".date(D)."\">";
?>

 

or this:

 

<input type="text" name="page" value="<?php echo date(D); ?>">

The D still have to be in quotes right?

Yes. Unless you happened to have a constant called D which contained the string 'D'...

[rhodesa]

yeah...D in quotes...sorry about that
