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. -- Kristina > Sorry Mate, > > I lost it.
