date handling
how do I handle getting a date into the database. Is this right:
<input type=hidden name="date" value="$get_date">
I know it's not, because I'm getting a error about invalid date!

You could simply add the default value in your .cfg file something like this:

'Start Date' => [ 4,'date',20,25,1, &get_date(),''],

Then your date would be automatically filled in for you Smile

Hope this helps Smile

Thanks. I tried the code you suggested in the .cfg but the script still generates an invalid date format error.
Shouldn't there be some html too?

No. All you need is the default value in the .cfg file.

Unless you mean with your hidden field in sub html_record_form. That should be

Code:
<input type=hidden name="date" value="$rec{'date'}">
