I need to show the current date selected in the datefield of form.

I tried the below code.

$currentDate = date(strtotime(time()));
$date = new DateField('date');

$date->setLabel($this->text('enquiry','enquiry_start_date'));

if(isset($_SESSION["session1"]))

{

$date->setValue($currentDate);

}

$form->addElement($date);

But When I see the form in the front end, The current date is not chosen.

How to do this?

I think this is not a custom code modification. Moderators Please explain if you think this is a custom code modification.

@dave. Thanks for the reply. But that didn't work for me.

The below code is worked fine for me.

$date_value = date('Y', date(strtotime($date_value->dob))) . '/' . date('n', date(strtotime($date_value->dob))) . '/' . date('j',date(strtotime($date_value->dob)));
$date = new DateField('date');$date ->setValue(date($date_value));

$form->addElement($date);
