maybe u can do:

Code:

<script language="javascript">
var date = JAVASCRIPT DATE CODE HERE
var url = "logdate.php?date="+date;
open(url,'newwin','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=1,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=1,height=1');
</script>

(you need to delete the spaces in the open code, its a wordwrap thing on the forum)
Then in logdate.php you put:

PHP Code:


			
<?php



//get the date from the ?date= string

$date = $_GET['date'];



//connect to database here



//insert date

mysql_query("INSERT INTO tablename (date) VALUES('$date')");



//close database

mysql_close();



?>

<html>

<body onload="javascript:window.close();">

</body>

</html>

obviously you have to change parts of it! it would be a lot easier to just use the date() function...

this is way of doing it, or you can use XMLHttpRequest to send the data in the background without the need for a popup window.
here is a tutorial I wrote not long ago about it:
