I am trying to insert date into mysql but everytime it fails and comes out as 0000-00-00
in phpmyadmin
My date format is like 2012-08-06
(yyyy-mm-dd) and the date field type in database is date
.
$date = "2012-08-06";
mysql_query("INSERT INTO data_table (title, date_of_event)
VALUES('". $_POST['post_title'] ."',
'". $date ."')") or die(mysql_error());
tried changing -
to /
or removing them, it doesn't work.
try CAST
function in MySQL:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO data_table (title, date_of_event)
VALUES('". $_POST['post_title'] ."',
CAST('". $date ."' AS DATE))") or die(mysql_error());
try
$date = "2012-08-06";
$date=date("Y-m-d",strtotime($date));
Unless you want to insert different dates than "today", you can use CURDATE():
$sql = 'INSERT INTO data_tables (title, date_of_event) VALUES ("%s", CURDATE())';
$sql = sprintf ($sql, $_POST['post_title']);
PS! Please do not forget to sanitize your MySQL input, especially via mysql_real_escape_string ()
try converting the date first.
$date = "2012-08-06";
mysql_query("INSERT INTO data_table (title, date_of_event)
VALUES('" . $_POST['post_title'] . "',
'" . $date . "')")
or die(mysql_error());
How to debug SQL queries when you stuck
Print you query and run it directly in mysql or phpMyAdmin
$date = "2012-08-06";
$query= "INSERT INTO data_table (title, date_of_event)
VALUES('". $_POST['post_title'] ."',
'". $date ."')";
echo $query;
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
that way you can make sure that the problem is not in your PHP-script, but in your SQL-query
How to submit questions on SQ-queries
Make sure that you provided enough closure
- Table schema
- Query
- Error message is any
$date=$year."-".$month."-".$day;
$new_date=date('Y-m-d', strtotime($dob));
$status=0;
$insert_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$latest_insert_id=0;
$insertSql="insert into participationDetail (formId,name,city,emailId,dob,mobile,status,social_media1,social_media2,visa_status,tnc_status,data,gender,insertDate)values('".$formid."','".$name."','".$city."','".$email."','".$new_date."','".$mobile."','".$status."','".$link1."','".$link2."','".$visa_check."','".$tnc_check."','".json_encode($detail_arr,JSON_HEX_APOS)."','".$gender."','".$insert_date."')";
