Correction for current date

The "default to current date" functionality (getdate()) does not work properly for PHP5. The getdate() function returns an associative array with date information in it, whereas this class expects to read dates in MySQL standard format - which is why I'm using this class. To fix this, change each reference to "getdate()" to "date("y-m-d")". This will yield the system date in MySQL format, and will enable the "default to current date" functionality to work properly.

Thanks for an otherwise killer class!

Thanks Steve! I'll take a look and try to get the changes made to the online class files soon.

No problem, Sandon.

Quick question - how would I use this in an input form? It doesn't seem to send anything to _GET or _POST...hopefully, I'm just having a brain cramp...

Thanks, Steve

Give the following code a shot. For a limited time you can see it in action here: http://safekids2.pediatrics.wisc.edu/date_test/test.php

<?php
include "class.Date_picker.php";
$my_form = new Date_picker;
$follow_up_date = $_REQUEST['follow_up_date_year']."-".$_REQUEST['follow_up_date_month']."-".$_REQUEST['follow_up_date_day'];
echo $follow_up_date;
echo " <form name=main_form>";
$today = getdate();
$default_year = $today[year];
#$this->my_form->print_date_pulldown("follow_up_date", $row_followup['follow_up_date'], 1, 0, 2004, $default_year);
$my_form->print_date_pulldown("follow_up_date", "2004-1-4", 1, 0, 2004, $default_year);
#print_date_pulldown("follow_up_date", "2004-1-4", 1, 0, 2004, $default_year);

echo '
<input type="submit" name="click_record" value="Update">
</form>
';
?>
