Hello again World

I am trying - half heartily right now - to get a DDMM or similar date
back from a users server to write to a file when they fill in an order
form. My first attempt of :-

<!--#config timefmt="%d%b%y"-->
    <input type="hidden" name="submit_date" value="&lt;--#echo
var=&quot;LOCAL_TIME&quot; --&gt;">

inside the forms shtml page gives an error from the server I check it
on. The rest of the form is OK with this cut out.

This shtml page calls a cgi script that simply writes the form content
to a secure file on the users website and sends a thank you message. I
have not yet been able to get the server I am hosted from to give me a date!!

It did take me a week to realise that despite what some books say you DO
have to have shtml on some machines when SSI is being used. I need some
sites to look at for more information I think - or some stupidly simple
piece of cgi that writes today's date to a file when it closes.

GOOD beginners work.

TIA
