Hi Aaron,

So... if, in my form, I want both the date to both be part of my form input
as well as displayed on the page when the page is loaded, how do I write
that code?


Say I have a webpage 'waspsurvey.php3' that contains my form.

When a surveyor loads that page in his/her browser, the form is displayed
for the surveyor to fill out.

At a point on the form, there is the parameter 'Date:'  so, I'd want
' $date = date("Y-m-d");
  print "$date";'
in waspsurvey.php3 so that the date will print in the page.. but.. what do I
do to capture "$date" so that it becomes part of my form input?  <input
type="hidden" name="date" value="$date"> ?

J.
