          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") .' ">'; ?>
