Hi,
why does "$date = date(y-m-d);" return following (with
error_reporting(E_ALL))
Notice: Use of undefined constant y - assumed 'y' in
/srv/www/htdocs/web2/html/php/nospam/pop.php on line 48
Notice: Use of undefined constant m - assumed 'm' in
/srv/www/htdocs/web2/html/php/nospam/pop.php on line 48
Notice: Use of undefined constant d - assumed 'd' in
/srv/www/htdocs/web2/html/php/nospam/pop.php on line 48
and it just writes 0000-00-00, why? :(
Thanks!

Because you're supposed to provide this function with a string argument.
Try putting quote marks around it like this:
$date = date("y-m-d");

It is correct that you need to pass a string as the first argument to
date(), but there is not need to use double quote marks as this will
force PHP to parse the string looking for variables et.c.
