if you have a spare moment can you take the time to go through this quote form and let me know if you have issues with the date thinking you've input 01/01/1970?

when going through the form can you use the name as TEST OCUK or something like that so i know it's not for a real customer and to not chase you up

ive tested as best i can and never have issues with the date, but every now and again i get a customer say that when they input a date it shows as 01/01/1970 once they try to go to the next step even though they select something in the future.

i'd appreciate if you can try this, and let me know which browser/os you're using.

i know the last person to tell me they had the issue, they said the date pop up didn't come up and they had to input the date by hand, but did use the format i show but still had the issue.

"Postcode: T3ST1CL"

this is the variety of code related to the date field.

PHP:

<input type='date' name='date' id='date'  value='<?= $date; ?>' min="<?php echo date("Y-m-d") ?>" />

PHP:

$date = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['date'], ENT_QUOTES));

PHP:

<input type='hidden' name='date' id='date' value='<?= $date; ?>' />

PHP:

if (strlen($date)>0 && strtotime($date) < time()) {

$dateShown = strtotime($date);
$dateShown = date('d/m/Y', $dateShown);

$error++;
$errorMessage .= "<label for='date' title='Click to jump to the error'>- Date $dateShown selected is in past. Please correct to dd/mm/yyyy format</label>";
$dateRed = "class='e tooltip' title='Date selected is in past. Please correct to dd/mm/yyyy format' ";
}

annoyingly i'm yet to find a way to replicate the issue, but it certainly is one. I feel it's when the html input date thing can't work on certain browsers but i don't know which.

ok so i've prevented the check that doesn't let past dates through, now i'm getting loads of past dates.

i've got the user agent info sent in the quote so i can see what the user is using and find how this error is being made.

this is what the user info gave for the latest happening.

User: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_2) AppleWebKit/600.3.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.3 Safari/600.3.18

it's muddling the date around. should be 01/09/16 but it comes through as 09/01/16. no idea why. anyone with the same stuff able to try for me?

unwashed potato! · 24 Aug 2016 at 17:20

no idea. how should i check? the dates work fine for all browsers i try it with and those who tried on here. should i be defining that the date is a uk date when splitting it or something? i suspect it's an issue from apple computers.

cheers. date came through as

Preferred Date for Work: 09/01/16 Saturday

so it's not the locale US issue. anyone else with a mac that can check for me? do you have any other browsers you could check with?

unwashed potato! · 24 Aug 2016 at 21:34

again same issue. keeps showing as 09/01/16. could you try from a phone/tablet?

unwashed potato! · 29 Aug 2016 at 23:43

dmsims: would you be able to have another try and see if the issue has been resolved for me?

unwashed potato! · 30 Aug 2016 at 16:45

woo seems to be working now

thanks

unwashed potato! · 4 Sep 2016 at 20:19

ahh ffs it's still messed up. dates are coming through like this now 16/09/13 when it should be 13/09/16.

unwashed potato! · 20 Oct 2016 at 10:31

woo i've updated it now to use datepicker. if anyone has the time please feel free to do a test run for me as i can't check what it'll be like on mac devices.

unwashed potato! · 20 Oct 2016 at 12:01

cheers for that.

i got the date for todays date which i assume you input? did you notice where it says the date is optional?
