ASP :

fldmydate = now()

PHP :

$flddate_entered = date("y-d-M G:i",mktime($datetime["hour"],
$datetime["minute"], $datetime["second"], $datetime["month"],
$datetime["day"], $datetime["year"])) ;

Doug,
use FormatDate() function:
' for short date format
fldmydate = FormatDate(now(), 2)

I tried the code.
What I have is: "fldDateRequested = FormatDate(now(), 2)"

I am getting an error:


Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'FormatDate'

Anymore help?

now() returns date + time and function expects date only
use date() function that returns pure date ,.e.g. fldxxx = date

Here is my solution using PHP (my date field is called 'dato'):

$flddato = strftime("%Y-%m-%d");

Use
fldmydate = date()
But that will not give you a two year date, only remove the time stamp.
