Post DatePicker (yyyy-mm-dd) OnSelect to php mysql

in Using jQuery • 10 years ago

Hi, I've been trying for a while now to get the following code to Post to a php/mysql page, but no luck. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
$.datepicker.formatDate('yyyy-mm-dd', new date(dateText));
$.post("phpMysqlInsert.php", {visitdate: dateText} ); }});
});
</script>
<div id="CSSformat"><div id="datepicker" name="visitdate"></div></div>

Pay attention to the "new Date" constructor at line 6. It HAS to be written like jakecigar did (new Date). Otherwise, "date" (lowercase) will be a variable.

If that wasn't a typo, it would probably be the problem the OP is facing in posting it. "date" written like that is stopping the script execution.

You can see what I mean here: http://jsfiddle.net/noth1ng/BLgtg/
