            change, outputs a 14 char MySQL timestamp in a text field
Enjoy this - I'm sure it could be more elegant, but I couldn't find something like this anywhere 
else. Pull your hair out on more important programming problems! If you like it, or improve 
upon it, drop me a line. 
call the function like this: 
stamper($previous_value); 
?> 
function stamper($previous_value) { 
// your constants 
$form_name = "form1"; 
$store_stamp_field = "datestamp"; 
// looks for previous 14 char stamp or defaults to now 
if (!$previous_value) { 
$my_stamp = date("YmdHis"); 
} else { 
$my_stamp = $previous_value; 
} 
// parses the timestamp & digests it into useful variables 
$year=substr($my_stamp,0,4); 
$month=substr($my_stamp,4,2); 
$day=substr($my_stamp,6,2); 
$hour=substr($my_stamp,8,2); 
$minute=substr($my_stamp,10,2); 
$second=substr($my_stamp,12,2); 
// here you can set your ("starting value", "range") for each 
$year_range = array("2000","11"); 
$month_range = array("01","12"); 
$day_range = array("01","31"); 
$hour_range = array("00","24"); 
$minute_range = array("00","60"); 
$second_range = array("00","60"); 
$names = array("month","day","year","hour","minute","second"); 
$names_for_stamp = array("year","month","day","hour","minute","second"); 
// this drops in some javascript to do the onChange event handler for each select list 
echo "\n"; 
// this creates the selects and add the JS event handler 
for ($i=0;$iecho "\n"; 
} 
//this creates the initial timestamp 
$the_stamp = $year . $month . $day . $hour . $minute . $second; 
//this holds the dynamic timestamp value, make it hidden once you get the hang of how it all 
works 
echo "\n"; 
} 
?>
