On my login form I have a text box called current_date. The data type is Date, the Format is yyyy-mm-dd and the Default Value is CurrentDate.
It displays the date perfectly as 2008-12-27.
I am trying to get this date into a variable to compare it with an expiry date stored in the users table. I can get the expiry date into a variable with :
$result = CCDLookUp("expiry_date","users","ID=".$db->ToSQL(CCGetUserID(),ccsInteger), $db);
no problem!
I cannot get the value from the current_date text box into a variable! I am using:
global $current_date;
$current_date = CCParseDate($Container->current_date->GetValue,"yyyy-mm-dd");
echo $current_date;
I have tried everything and cannot figure out my stupidity. I am going nuts with this. Please help if you can.

saseow,
try:$current_date = CCParseDate($Container->current_date->GetValue(),"yyyy-mm-dd");

it may be that you are trying to get the date from the label before the labels value is set.
why do you need to assign it to a label first?
what if you just did this?
global $current_date;
$current_date=date("Y-m-d");
echo $current_date;

Rick - that was my first thought but I couldnt get it to work and thought that the label might not have a value yet so i just set the variable and skipped the label?

Thank you both for the help! Damian, I used your direct approach. Sometimes one just gets into a rut and can't see the wood for the trees.
Thanks again.
