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... -----Original Message----- From: trongduc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 8:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] What's wrong with this date ? 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 YYYY-MM-DD) I don't understand the way MySQL saves my date field in his data (is it YYYY-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 ? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
