limitphp Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm trying to insert a future date in the mysql database. Its not working right now. The date field is type datetime. here's the code: if ($rememberMe=="on"){ setcookie("nwo",$tempID, time()+3600*24*30); mysql_query("INSERT INTO cookie (tempID, userID, expirationDate) VALUES ('$tempID', '$userID', NOW(),INTERVAL 30 DAY)"); }else{ setcookie("nwo",$tempID, 0); mysql_query("INSERT INTO cookie (tempID, userID, expirationDate) VALUES ('$tempID', '$userID', NOW(),INTERVAL 20 MINUTES)"); } Is that not correct syntax for the query? Its not putting anything in the database. I'm trying to insert 30 days from now in one, and 20 minutes from now in the other statement.

premiso Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Check this out http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html if ($rememberMe=="on"){ setcookie("nwo",$tempID, time()+3600*24*30); mysql_query("INSERT INTO cookie (tempID, userID, expirationDate) VALUES ('$tempID', '$userID', DATE_ADD(NOW(),INTERVAL 30 DAY))"); }else{ setcookie("nwo",$tempID, 0); mysql_query("INSERT INTO cookie (tempID, userID, expirationDate) VALUES ('$tempID', '$userID', DATE_ADD(NOW(),INTERVAL 20 MINUTES))"); } I believe you are missing the DATE_ADD function in your query.
