Answer 1

Your date is not being printed into the input.

echo "<input type='date' name='date' min='".date('Y-m-d')."'>";

I also swapped the quotations so you could just use the variable within the echo without involving more.

You don't need <?php and ?> inside already existing<?php ?> tag.

<?php echo '<input type="date" name="date" min="' . date("Y-m-d") .' ">'; ?>
