Yes, that is exactly what I thought I meant to explain about the hidden form... you can't pass the date directly into a PHP variable! So you'd have to use document.form.value...
In my defense I have a horrible hangover...? :) > I'm see a lot of odd code in the past few posts. $'s mixed in with > javascript and attempts to blend client side javascript variables with > server side php variables.

'0' + m : m; > var yy = date.getYear(); > var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy; > var hours = date.getHours(); > var minutes = date.getMinutes(); > var seconds = date.getSeconds(); > if (minutes < 10) minutes = "0" + minutes; > if (seconds < 10) seconds = "0" + seconds; > var Datum = (year + "-" + month + "-" + day +' > '+hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds); > /* The below line submits the datetime as a GET request upon page load */ > new Image().src = '/datetest.php?imgdate='+encodeURI(Datum); > </script> > </head> > <body> > clientdate=<?=$_REQUEST['clientdate']?><br> > <form method="post" action="" name="myform"> > <!-- The line below sends the datetime upon form submit --> > <input type="hidden" name="clientdate" value=""> > <input type="submit" onClick="document.myform.clientdate.value=Datum;"> > </form> > </body> > </html> > > The example sends the client date back to the server in 2 different ways. > The first is the img src method, which sends the data immediately after > the page loads > the second is via the form in the hidden field. > > ~Rolan > _______________________________________________ > New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List > http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk > > NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online > http://www.nyphpcon.com > > Show Your Participation in New York PHP > http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php > _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
