How do I insert the current date to hidden field?

I have a form for updating personal information. There is a field in the table called "dateupdated" that I would like to have on the form as a hiddent field that will automatically get the latest date (now).
Any idea's how I can set the hiddden field to current date?
Thanks, Dennis

You don't need a hidden field to do that. Depending on the database you're using, you can either use a TIMESTAMP column (in MySQL) that is automatically updated, or you can use a SQL function to insert the current date.
For example, in PHP, you can use NOW() like this in a SQL query:
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO date_test (created, message) VALUES (NOW(), %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['message'], "text"));

How can I return the current Date in Java?

I am new to Java, and basically I want to know how I can return the current date as a variable, so for example, I have declared the following date variable
private java.util.Date currentDate;How can I return the current date, do I have to write a method? To be more specific, I need to write a setMethod, that simply returns the current Date in Java.
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

If all you want is a date for printing or displaying, the easiest way is to use Date as shown below. If you need something more complex, look at the Calendar API.
import java.util.Date;
class DateEx
     public static void main(String args[])
          Date now = new Date();
          System.out.println(now);
}

How can I make the current date/time be sent when emailing as XML?

I'm creating a form for a customer to use for submitting print jobs. This customer will be emailing the XML form data, which will in turn be converted into a production order. I'd like to make the PDF form capture my customer's system time, so that I know when they filled out the form. I COULD just leave that up up the customer and use required current date and time fields, but that provides the ability for the customer to falsify that information.
Is there any good way to capture the current date/time in the XML data, so that the customer doesn't need to nor has the ability to?
Any suggestions would be great!

You can use the following methods getHours(),getMinutes(), and getSeconds() from the date object to obtain the values for hour,minute,and second.

How do I insert the value of an email field in the submit mailto: argument?

I want to create a button that will redirect a PDF form to an email address entered as a field in the form. In other words, a "return to sender" function. The button function has a submit to URL where you can use "mailto:[email protected]". How can I substitute the value from an email field in the form itself for the "[email protected]" value?

You'll need to use JavaScript, and the mailDoc method in particular: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.505.html
Get the value of the field that contains the email address and use it as the value of the cTo property. See the following for a sample script: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3553628?tstart=-1

How do I update the value of a hidden field?

Jsp has hidden field. The value of the hidden field is set.
<%= RequestCtx.getSessionInfoAsHiddenParam() %>
<INPUT type ="HIDDEN" name=billtoContactPartyId" Value="<%=billtoContactPartyId %>">
Based on some logic I've added to the jsp. I want to update the value of the hidden field. This does not work. How do I update the value?
windowForm.elements['billtoContactPartyId'].value = windowForm.elements['defaultcontactPartyId'].value;

Hi,
If you create a function to return wwctx_api.get_user you could
call this inside an update trigger, you could put in an
exception to return USER if there is an error, this would then
work for users connected directly and users using Portal.
Regards Michael
e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F_PORTAL_USER RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
     vRet VARCHAR2(50) := wwctx_api.get_user;
BEGIN
     RETURN(vRet);
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
          RETURN (USER);
END F_PORTAL_USER;

How to get the current date and compare dates

hi
does anyone know how you would get the current date?
furthermore, how to compare the current date with a past date to see how many days or months have past since then?
thanks

have a look at the Date class. new Date() creates an object containing the exact date and time at creation time. (Date).getTime() might be useful for comparing two dates. GregorianCalendar might be useful, too.

Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
int month = now.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int dayyear = now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
int year = now.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int a = 365;
int b = a - dayyear;
System.out.println("The day is the" + " " + day);
System.out.println("IT is the" + " " + month + " " + "month of the year");
System.out.println("The year is" + " " + year);
System.out.println("This many days till next year" + " " + b);

LibreOffice Calc - insertion of current date returns strange result

Hey,
When i want to insert the current date with the command TODAY() i get a result like this:
25.[~bu250i0t] Oktober 2011
The [~bu250i0t] is obviously what annoys me! How do i get it away?
Cheers

Why the language? My mother tongue happens to be German, nothing wrong about that!
I just want to get rid of the digits and letters within the date...

Get the current date

How does one get the current date?

I would not use the date object (mostly deprecated), instead use the Calendar object.

Getting the Current Date

Ok, This is probably an easy question and I should know this, but can anybody tell me how I can display the current date on my Web Page using Java? I have tried <% Calendar.MONTH %> etc...... but this just returns an integer for the month in question. Preferrably I would like to have the date in the format 03 May 2004, 22:18. I would like it to change every time I refresh my page.
It seems such an easy question but I've been reacking my brains trying to find the answer.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,

Get the Current Date and Time of a Location

I have created a windowsPhoneApplication in silverLight 8.1.In my application,I have to upload videos on some server.The Uploading get failed If the Date and Time settings of my device is not the current Date and Time.So How can I get the current date
and time even if the device settings is wrong?

Hi shifana,
Do you know server's time zone? If yes, you can manually translate to the correct time zone.
Otherwise try some online time acquire API.
