You are passing your date variable into a querystring instead of into 
the form.  Therefore when you POST your form, the value is not there 
for the server side to read.  Also I don't believe you should use $ 
characters in your form field names, which in any event won't pass in 
the date value.

try something like this:

<input type="text" name="dateholder" value="<? echo $datum ?>" size=20>

Change the input type to "hidden" after you are seeing the date is 
populating in the form.
