日期字段不想显示

Question

$customers_dob is valid : string(10) "06/11/2019" but when I insert the code below : $customers_dob is displayed empty.

my code is :

echo HTML::inputField('dob', $customers_dob, null, 'date');

I tested with a full HTMl code:

echo '<input id="date" type="date" value="' . $customers_dob . '">';

I have the same result $customers_dob : is displayed empty.

Do you have an idea to display the value inside the input date?

HTML5 accepts date values in ISO-8601 format. The format you are using can be ambiguous.

You can convert the date to Y-m-d using PHP and display that into HTML

$dateObj = new \DateTime('06/11/2019');
echo '<input id="date" type="date" value="' . $dateObj->format('Y-m-d') . '">';
