trouble receiving the current date

I have an input field, where I would like to display to the user the current date:

<input id="uploadformData" ng-model="upload.date" type="date" value="<?php echo date('Y-m-d'); ?>" />

problem is that it doesn't display the current date but the value conflicts with the ng-model. Without the ng-model being mentioned it works fine.

Below is where the ng-model is reference

var module = angular.module("AuthApp", [])
module.controller("MyCntrl", function($scope) {
      $scope.currentUser = Parse.User.current();

//To send uploaded documents to a user    
      $scope.userUpload = function(form) {

   var Message = Parse.Object.extend("Upload"); 
var upload = new Message(); 

upload.set("Subject", form.subject); 
upload.set("user", {
        __type: "Pointer",
        className: "_User",
        objectId: document.getElementById("userObjectId").value
    });

upload.set("documentURL", document.getElementById('result').innerHTML);
upload.set("Message", form.message); 
upload.set("Sender", form.sender); 
upload.set("Type", form.type); 
upload.set("Date", form.date); 
upload.save(null, { 
success: function(upload) { 
//success 
        var div = document.getElementById("messageSent");
    div.textContent = "Upload successfully delivered to " + document.getElementById("fullNameId").value;
    scroll(0,0);
      location.reload();

}, 
error: function(upload, error) { 
//failure 
} 
});
