default date input on new record to Mysql

[BrianDickson]

Hi all

I want a date to be shown on an "insert record page" via a browser, in the format of dd/mm/yyyy., by default, ie as soon as the page is displayed.

I'm using Dreamweaver MX to create the application, php4.? and mySQL.

Thanks.

me think its

date("d/m/Y");

Excude my ignorance, but do I put:

Date(d/m/Y) within my web page or within mySQL?

Cheers

well i assume from the first post you just want it to show on your page, so no mysql is need

so all is required is that you put something like this where you want the date to be shown

<?
$date = date("d/m/Y"); // dont forget the quotes inside the date func
echo $date;
?>
