I would like to populate the date text box on my html form with the
current date and time. here is what I have now:
How could I update this to automatically display the date and time in
this editorialdate field? I want it to be formatted correctly for
mySql DATETIME field.

I can get the date to show up...thats not the issue.
to get the current date I do this:
putenv('TZ=America/New_York');
echo date("Y-m-d h:i:s", time());
?>
And the current date is displayed.
I want to get that current date in the value of my textbox named
editorialdate so that it is auto filled in on load of page.
If I try to surround this:
Date:
in
value of the textbox be equal to what I can already display on the
page.

Are you familiar with how to echo/print PHP variables to HTML? You
should be.
putenv('TZ=America/New_York');
$theDate = date("Y-m-d h:i:s", time());
?>
.... then all your form stuff (OUTSIDE THE PHP!!)
.... with your input like:
.... you should do a PHP tutorial or something, it's hard to get more
basic than this.
