Hello all,
I am processing an array to build an INSERT string in PHP. The code

I am trying to trap for a NULL ENTRY in a Date Input Field. Date
fields are identified with: $ffield['s']=='/'
I tried to add the !empty($fval) to the test but it is giving my
an unexpected results. In my case, I have a Data of Birth field that
keeps populating in the future: So 1941-06-16 inserts in the DB as
2041-06-16.
foreach($form_fields as $ffield){
$fval = is_array($ffield['f'])?joinFields($ffield['s'],
$ffield['f']):$_POST[$ffield['f']];
$query_values[] =
'.mysql_real_escape_string($ffield['s']=='/'
!empty($fval) ?date('y-m-d',strtotime($fval)):$fval).';
}
Will anyone point out the problem with this CODE?

I can't see anything immediately wrong, but the tertiary operators here
mixed in with the mysql_ function and string concatenation don't make
for easy reading! Maybe add some brackets to partition things off a bit
to make the code easier on the eye. :p
Have you tried echo'ing out the queries to see if they actually look
well-formed? One place it could fall over is if the values you're using
in it aren't well formed.
Lastly, you're using a $_POST field directly in your query if the first
tertiary if/else fails. You should at the very least validate it to make
sure it's in the form you expect, which has to at least be something
that can be parsed and processed by strtotime() which you're using in
your example.

thanks Ash,
I figure it out. I was not entering the full year.
date('y-m-d',strtotime($fval))
needed to be
date('o-m-d',strtotime($fval))
Duh ;-)
Thanks,
Don
