Passing date & time SSI to a hidden form field

**luckyluk** · 02-26-2005, 08:41 PM

Hi. Hopefully this is a real simple problem for someone to solve. I have a form that is processing information, but I need to know the date and time it was submitted. So, I am using the following simple Server Side Include:



This provides me with the date and time from the server. It provides the following output, which is exactly what I want.

Sat Feb 26 17:34:27 2005

The problem is that I can't seem to get this information passed to my form processing. I would like to use:

<input type="hidden" name="date" value="">

I have tried putting the SSI inside the value quotes, but I can't get it to work. I have tried several vairations of the same thing, including parnthsis, using the backslash "\" for the quotes.

Could someone let me know a simple way of doing this? Whatever solution I come up with, must use the server date and time.

Thank you
