How do I input the date automatically into a mysql db
dragin99 replied to dragin99's topic in PHP Coding Help
Not to belay a point but by calculate the date do you mean insert this statement: $date =date("Y-m-d"); And is would its value then be a "%s" Sorry but the value is eluding me! Thanks for your help! -
How do I input the date automatically into a mysql db
dragin99 replied to dragin99's topic in PHP Coding Help
Andyb - thanks for responding! I don't know why I can't get my head around this but how does the field get updated by just adding what you responded with. the name of the field in the db is date ....so I added your line at the bottom of the php code section. here is the php and associated html form: <?php require_once('Connections/phils_db.php'); ?> <?php function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { $theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue; switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "long": case "int": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "double": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "date": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "defined": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue; break; } return $theValue; } $editFormAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']; if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) { $editFormAction .= "?" . $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']; } if ((isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_insert"])) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_insert"] == "signup_form")) { $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO signup_form (fname, lname, address, suite, city, `state`, zip, email, phone, fax) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)", GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['fname'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['lname'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['address'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['suite'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['city'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['state'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['zip'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['email'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['phone'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['fax'], "text")); mysql_select_db($database_phils_db, $phils_db); $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $phils_db) or die(mysql_error()); $insertGoTo = "thankyou/thankyou.php"; if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) { $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?"; $insertGoTo .= $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']; } header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo)); } $date =date("Y-m-d"); ?> <html> <head> <title>Phil Hale's how to Flip Properties</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

I have created a simple customer information form and now I want to add a date field to automatically be inserted into the associated mysql table. I thought I could do this within the mysql db but the DATE type only displays the 0000-00-00 format. So I created a hidden field with a value of now() but that doesn't work either. I know this a simple function but for the life of me I can't see what I am missing. Can someone help...all I am trying to do is get a date stamp for the day the person filled out the form. Thanks! PS didn't see anything for this specifically in the archives.

Trying to redirect to html page without using header variable

[!--quoteo(post=372173:date=May 7 2006, 09:43 PM:name=redarrow)--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE(redarrow @ May 7 2006, 09:43 PM) [snapback]372173[/snapback][/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--] [code] header("location: success.html"); [/code] [code] header("location: http://www.domainname.com/mailinglist/inc/success.html"); [/code] [/quote] Problem is I tried that and I receive the "headers already sent errors...thought maybe it was the placement of the code not the code itself. Is there another way to redirect without using the header variable -
Hello, Hopefully this is a simple problem to you all! I have been using a simple mailing list script successfully for quiet awhile, but I have redisgned the site and now instead of echoing a success or error message I want to redirect to an html page. Seeing as how I am not outputting any data and considering the location of the variables... what variable and syntax can I use to do this! header doesn't seem appropiate because I'm not outputting any data. here is a sample section of the script: function insert_mail() { $fname = $_POST['fname']; $lname = $_POST['lname']; $email = $_POST['email']; $sql2="select * from mail where email='$email'"; $result2=mysql_query($sql2) or die("select fails"); $no=mysql_num_rows($result2); if ($no==0) { $sql = "insert into mail(id,fname,lname,email) values(NULL,'$fname','$lname','$email')"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die("insert fails"); echo "Email added to list: " . LISTNAME; } else { header("http://www.domainname.com/mailinglist/inc/success.html"); } Tried this and it errored out ( yes I read the section that addresses this but I don't think I should be using header variable anyway.
