Input date - davy_yg - 04-26-2016
Hello,
I am trying to create an input form for date how to do so?
I prefer using animative date like you just need to click the date number and choose the year in order to input the date. How to do so ?
PHP Code:
<html>
<title>Blog Form</title>
<br>
<h1>BLOG FORM</h1>
<?php $this->load->helper('form'); ?>
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>
<?php echo form_open('form'); ?>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Date :</td>
<td><input type="text" name="username" value="" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Upload :<br><br></td>
<td><input type="text" name="username" value="" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Title :</td>
<td><input type="text" name="username" value="" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content :</td>
<td>
<textarea rows="8" cols="50">
</textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div>
</form>
</table>
</html>

PHP Code:
$today = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm
$today = date("m.d.y"); // 03.10.01
$today = date("j, n, Y"); // 10, 3, 2001
$today = date("Ymd"); // 20010310
$today = date('h-i-s, j-m-y, it is w Day'); // 05-16-18, 10-03-01, 1631 1618 6 Satpm01
$today = date('\i\t \i\s \t\h\e jS \d\a\y.'); // it is the 10th day.
$today = date("D M j G:i:s T Y"); // Sat Mar 10 17:16:18 MST 2001
$today = date('H:m:s \m \i\s\ \m\o\n\t\h'); // 17:03:18 m is month
$today = date("H:i:s"); // 17:16:18
$today = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); // 2001-03-10 17:16:18 (the MySQL DATETIME format)

You can use a date input, but support is browser-dependent (see http://html5doctor.com/the-woes-of-date-input/ ).
The alternative is to use a JavaScript plugin to generate the datepicker. An older article on doing this (which also covers using the plugin as a fallback if the native datepicker is not supported) can be found here: https://www.tjvantoll.com/2012/06/30/creating-a-native-html5-datepicker-with-a-fallback-to-jquery-ui/
