    Oh, that snippet has been there all along. In fact the (registerDate) value is displayed on the front-end if I manually add it via the Manager.

    So the problem isn't the placeholder or the ClassExtender field, it's that my PHP wasn't generating the date, but I found the problem. I changed it from this:
    <?php
echo date('F j, Y')

    to
    <?php
echo date("F j, Y");

      Just a clarification for others reading this, single quotes and double quotes both work fine with date(). It's the missing semicolon that matters.
