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="<--#echo var="LOCAL_TIME" -->"> 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.
