Default date for input

[keithh0427]

I'm attempting to add some code that will default to the current date when adding a record.

Here's what I have.

$today = date(Y-m-d);

and then:

		<input type=text name=enteredDate value=$today  size=15 style='font-family: <? echo $label->fontFace; ?>; font-size: 8pt' maxlength=20>

All I seem to get is "$today" in the input field instead of the date.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

<?
$today = date('Y-m-d');
?>

<input type="text" name="enteredDate" value="<? echo $today; ?>">

Many Thanks!

I thought I had tried that, but I think I forgot the quotes around the 'Y-m-d'.

Works like a charm.
