RE: [PHP-DB] Update Query Help...
is it a mysql field type of datetime? if so, you may want to use this instead $timestamp=date(Y-m-j H:i:s); $update = UPDATE accounts SET atime='$timestamp' WHERE id-sys='$tmp'; that puts the current timestamp in mysql format for entry into your table.

Re: [PHP-DB] Update Query Help...
SCOTT, The list's crystal ball filter is down for maintenance. Show us the tbl schema and the debug print of $update. Then we won't be firing blind! =dn I understand that the column name does not normally need quotes, but without quotes on the column name I get a mysql error message about no column named 'id'. Unfortunately, I cannot even get the UPDATE statement working outside of PHP through an direct SQL statement. Everything looks like it should work, but the affected columns is always zero, and obviously the atime column is not getting the timestamp. This is quite frustrating. Thanks again for the help. Hopefully someone will come up with something to help me get this working. -Original Message- From: 1LT John W.

RE: [PHP-DB] Update Query Help...
I have definitely isolated the problem. If I change the column name that the match is being performed on from 'id-sys' to 'id_sys' I can execute the query without having to worry about quoting the column name and everything works. I think that I am just going to leave the column name changed and take this as a lesson never to use '-' in a column name again. Thanks again for the help. Maybe we all learned something from this. -Original Message- From: DL Neil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 2:00 PM To: NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI); '1LT John W.

If you want to use a column name like id-sys, which you shouldn't, though, as you've learned, you can enclose it in backticks, like `id-sys`. Note that those are not single quotes, they are backticks, to the left of the number 1 key. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
