Hello and Warm Greetings,
I have a form that I have been asked to modify and thought it was a
straight forward and simple MOD but it seems to have some a condition
that I didn't count on when I agreed to make the change and I need
some advice.
=instructions for formatting most of the time, even with an example
provided. The form does a lookup to see if the birthdate matches the
one that is stored in the database. In the lookup, it compares the
value in $_POST['birthdate'] with the value in the database. The text
box works fine if you enter the correct yyyy-mm-dd format.
The replacement dropdown has three $_POST values very creatively
assigned, $_POST['year'],$_POST['month'],$_POST['day']. To compensate
for the replacement of $_POST['birthdate'] and try to make the change
transparent to the rest of the script I generated it manually in a
hidden field (I actually thought this one WAS creative until I
discovered that it didn't work as I expected, lol),
<input type="hidden" value="<?=$_POST['year'] . "-" .
$_POST['month'] . "-" . $_POST['day'];?>" name="birthdate">
The problem, as you may have already guessed is that
$_POST['birthdate'] gets no date values until AFTER the submit button
and that is too late for it to do its database compare so it fails. If
you rerun the form entry a second time the script works, no problem
but the first time through nada.

I have tried replacing the $_POST['birthdate'] with a variable
$birthdate that I generate manually with the correct data and pass it
to the diff function but that breaks the script so that it doesn't work
Correction:
if ($POST['year']) {
$_POST['birthdate']=$_POST['year'].'-'.$_POST['month'].'-'.$_POST['day'];
}
