[PHP] What's wrong with this date ?

2001-11-17 Thread trongduc

hi there,
I try to save a record (in the date type in MySQL) from the INPUT
type=text by :

$query = INSERT INTO $table VALUES  ($post_id, 0, '$topic', '$uname',
'$body', $date, '$newdate', 0) ;

But it couldn't work (I used $date or '$date' on above, but they got the
same results) !

It showed me the wrong value, as : 1970-0-0 (always this, although I try to
input different values in the text box with the date format is -MM-DD)
I don't understand the way MySQL saves my date field in his data (is it
-MM-DD ?)

Can anyone help me in this case ?
Thanks much...

ps : I used the $date field in varchar(20) type instead. BWT, what's
different beween the Varchar(length) type with the Char(length) type ?

Well it should be '$date',

Also.. If the column type is date and you are entering it for a form,
check to make sure you are typing it in ok and you trim() the variable

if It still doest work... do a ? print $query ? before the mysql_query()
and see exactly what its inserting...
