If you update $date and nothing else on the page, are any of the other values in the URL (HREF) set? You have two separate forms. $date is in one and $host is in the other. However, all of the other variables in your URL (HREF) are from the second form where $host is. My guess is that since you have information coming from two separate forms, only data from one of the forms is being submitted. I might be totally wrong though because I don't know what happens when you use two forms on the same page, let alone two forms without names. If my theory is right, you should be able to use one form to encompass all of the data and use two separate tables within the form to format the controls on the page.
