How to include a date value in a form

[VFRodriguez]

I want to create a loan calculator online in the page

http://www.prestamosimple.com/loan-calculator-online.php

My problem is that I don't know how to validate the field LOAN START DATE with today's date, so that the user may change it.
Give me an idea to do this.

Re: How to include a date value in a form

I myself will give the answer:
You need to create three combox: one for the day, one for the month and one for the year. After submitting the form, you need to create the date combining the elements in a .php file.
$day = $_POST['Day'];
$month = $_POST['Month'];
$year = $_POST['Year'];
So, the resulting date is:
$resultingdate = $year."-".$month."-".$day;
NOTE: When creating the combobox, the value for numbers below 10 must have the 0 before.

Why don't you simply add a Jquery Date Picker in your form and set the default date to be the "Current Date"?

From the menu, Insert -> jQuery UI - jQuery Datepicker.
