How to $_POST Bootstrap Form Helper Datepicker?

Question

I already make the datepicker run, but when I $_POST the input of the datepicker I get a null value..

<div class="bfh-datepicker">
    <input id="datepickers" type="text" name="dateFrom" class="datepicker" >
</div>

Answer 1

Try using the name option:

<div class="bfh-datepicker">
    <input id="datepickers" type="text" data-name="dateFrom"  class="datepicker" >
</div>

I got this from the docs:

Look at example 3. They use the options by using html5's data paradigm. e.g. data-max="today"

Note that max is an option.

Answer 2

Assuming you've already included library, then just do what the documentation says, put:

<div class="bfh-datepicker" data-name="dateto" data-format="y-m-d"></div>

It will generate <input> tag for you. Don't forget about "data-name" option (in docs its called just "name") otherwise $_POST will not contain your datepicker value.
