Entering the date as default within a form

Anyone know how to enter the time into a form or a website that might
tell how?  I'm using the following html code and trying to get the
time to default into the text box.  thanks

html code
<tr>
<td><b>Date:</b></td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="date" size="8"
maxlength="8"></td>
</tr>

php code
<? print strftime("%m/%d/%Y");  ?>

<input type="text" name="date" size="8" maxlength="8"
value="<? print strftime("%m/%d/%Y");  ?>">

Tried replacing with your suggested code and the <? print strftrime(
shows up in the form frame window with "> on the outside of the frame
(just to the right).  Thank you for the reply.  Did that little
snippet of code work on your end with your suggestion?

Try <?php instead of <?. <? only works if short_open_tag is enabled, and
sounds as if it isn't on your set-up.

That just means that PHP was not executed. I didn't test it, but I've done
it million gazillion times to know it works if everything else is okay. I'm
curious though, in your previous example: was the date output correctly when
the php code was outside the input field? I mean if it was: I don't know
what the hell broke it now. It should've been printed below the input field.
Just do what Oli suggested and replace <? ?> with <?php ?>. And tell us if
you usually get any kind of php output.
