inserting PHP variable into HTML form

[Anon]

Hello,

How do I insert a PHP variable $today into my HTML form value field, so the user will see todays date in the field and can accept the default or change it?

Thanks so much!

$date = date("F j Y, g:i a");
echo "<input type='text' name='date' value='$date'>";

will give you a text box with something like this in it ...
