Question

I have a project (index.php) that is essentially a HTML webpage. I am trying to use an 'include' function to bring in the header and footer (header.php, footer.php). I'm also trying to have the current date automatically load in a textbox. While I believe the syntax for all of these are correct, no actual PHP statements seem to execute or get recognized. I discovered this by adding a simple echo statement to the page.

Can anyone give me advice? I'm at a loss.

HTML Input Value for date:

<p><label>Order Date:</label> <input value="<?php echo date('m/d/Y'); ?>" maxlength="20" size="10" name="txtOrderDate" type="text" pattern="\d{1,2}/\d{2}/\d{4}" required/></p>

Statements used for header/footer (difference obviously being file name, referenced first and last line of index.php):

<?php include '../view/header.php'; ?>`

Header.php:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<!-- header -->
<head>
    <title>Order Form</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../view/main.css" />
    </title>
</head>

Footer.php:

<div id="footer">
    <p>
        &copy; <?php echo date("Y"); ?> Ordering Form
    </p>
</div>
</body>

Index.php (the beginning/end got broken up a bit, but I think everything is there)

<!-- include header --> 
<?php require_once '../view/header.php'; ?>
 <?php $today = date("m/d/Y"); ?>
<body>
<h1> Order Form </h1>
    <div id="wrapper">
    <form method="post" action="../model/A03_OrderForm.php">

    <p><label>Price:</label> <input value="0.00" maxlength="50" size="14" name="txtPrice" type="number" step="0.01" required/></p>
    </div></br>

    <div class="submit"><input class="button" value="Submit" type="submit" name="btnSubmit" /> <input class="button" value="Reset" type="reset" name="btnReset" />
    <div></div>
    </div>
    </form>
    </fieldset></div>
 <!-- include footer -->
<?php require_once '../view/footer.php'; ?>

As a reminder, none of the PHP statements execute on screen.

Thanks for the input thus far.

One thing to add is the webpage loads and operates just fine except the header/footer are not included (therefore no CSS either) and the date does not load in the textbox. Beyond those two things, it's golden.

Not sure what is meant by the verbatim comment. When I view the source code from the page it is exactly as written in my text editor?

Answer 1

<?php $today = date("m.d.y"); ?>

<p><label>Order Date:</label> <input value="<?php echo $today; ?>" name="txtOrderDate" type="date"></p>

try like this

2nd

make new php file (time.php) copy code from here to it run it on your pc

    <?php

$today = date("m.d.y");                         // 03.10.01
echo = $today;
?>

is that work?

I think that beater solution is to use date picker for this u will not have problem in future how user use date m.d.y m/d/y and so on.

and if possible can u share all code?

Answer 2

解决！我从'index.php'复制了文本，删除了文件，并将其粘贴到新工作表上。文本框值加载今天的日期，页眉/页脚已成功显示。

谢谢大家的回复和想法。非常感谢！
