here is a Database_update_entry function in my CodeIgniter model which gets executed upon successful form submission.
<?php
function update_entry(){
$data = array(
'sl' => $this->input->post('item_sl'),
'item_name' => $this->input->post('item_name'),
'img_url' => $this->input->post('img_url'),
'sound_url' => $this->input->post('sound_url'),
'price' => $this->input->post('price'),
'unit' => $this->input->post('unit'),
'timestamp' => time(),
);
echo "current time: ". time();
$this->db->update(MY_TABLE_NAME, $data);
}
?>
the database query gets executed fine.... but the time that gets set into the mysql table is
0000-00-00 00:00:00 whereas the <?php echo time() ?>
statement shows 1307018223 in the browser.... which is a valid UNIX timestamp... you can check the timestamp validity here.
here is a screenshot of the table that takes data from mySQL table after successful update_queryhttp://s3.amazonaws.com/awesome_screenshot/658523?AWSAccessKeyId=0R7FMW7AXRVCYMAPTPR2&Expires=1307020816&Signature=AncPjnzG9p9QTX7zebZp7c9teB0%3D
what am i doing wrong??? how can i pass a legal timestamp from my php to mySQL? [p.s. i have checked that the timestamp field in my mysql table is a timestamp field]
