Jason's Calendar , PHP , MSQL Help please?
1) Script Title: Jason's Date Input Calendar
2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...oncalendar.htm
3) Describe problem: Can't fetch date from database
Hello, i know lots of posts have been made on this subject but there is no definitive answer i can find which has lead me to solving my problem.
I have set up jasons calendar on my php form, and i can successfully pass the date through the form field to my mysql database:
------------------------
<script>DateInput('job_deadline', true ,'YYYY-MM-DD')</script>
------------------------
However, althought i can pass the date to the database, i cannot fetch the date on my other php page... i have a variable called $job_deadline, and i have placed this in the script. but all i get is a message in my browser saying the date is not properly formatted and as such it returns todays date.
I cannot understand how the date isnt formatted properly, considering the date is YYYY-MM-DD by default in the database and also in jasons script.
i know the code should work because i can collect the date from the database without jasons script, and just using a text box form field... so why does it not work... any ideas? here is my script (its a form for editing database fields)
