Question

I need to assign javascript client Date (examp. – 2012/02/03 16:00:00) to php variable. Any idea how? I was trying to use this lines and changing them in million different ways. But I just cant get it.

Today = new Date();
var date = ????
var date = "<?= $date ?>";

I solved it this way:

<input id="date" type="hidden" name="date">
<script type="text/javascript">
     document.getElementById('date').value = Date();
</script>

But thank you very much all.

Answer 1

Add an input in your form

<input type="hidden" name="clientDate">

if you are using jquery add this to set the client date input when the user submits the form

$(YOUR_FORM_SELECTOR).on("submit", function() {
  $("[name=clientDate]").val(new Date());
});

If you want to go with vanilla javascript follow this answer
