    1. COCan you do `var_dump($date)`? And `var_dump($_POST['task_date'])`

    2. COIt's likely `$date` is not set, and as you POST the form the field is submitted empty. In your cycling are you by any chance skipping empty elements in the input array?

    3. COno, the date is set to the correct value...I did var_dump on $date and the value is correct...the var_dump for $_POST['task_date'] turned out to be null, but that's expected because its not in the post values

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
