Recommended Posts

Sorry but this is from a post on here, i checked the staement now() out on google to see if the format on the insert is correct but came up with nothink from google is the insert allowed the now() in it and if so what it does.

I understand it in a select but not in a insert please advise me cheers.


Example of the insert i saw in the code cheers.

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email, username, password, encryptpass, bio, signup_date) VALUES('$first_name','$last_name','$email','$username','$db_password','$info2', now(),'$random_password')") or die (mysql_error());

this is how i would do it am i correct and is the above another way or wrong cheers.

$signup_date($_POST(['signup_date']));
$signup_date=date("d:m:y");

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email, username, password, encryptpass, bio, signup_date) VALUES('$first_name','$last_name','$email','$username','$db_password','$info2','$signup_date','$random_password')") or die (mysql_error());

$signup_date=NOW();

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email, username, password, encryptpass, bio, signup_date,random_password') VALUES('$first_name','$last_name','$email','$username','$db_password','$info2','$signup_date','$random_password')") or die (mysql_error());

now() is a sql function, not a php function.

[code=php:0]
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email, username, password, encryptpass, bio, signup_date,random_password') VALUES('$first_name','$last_name','$email','$username','$db_password','$info2',now(),'$random_password')") or die (mysql_error());
[/code]

make sure that the signup_date column is type [i]datetime[/i] or varchar(20) or something that can hold 0000-00-00 00:00:00 format.

also you are specifying 9 columns but only have 8 values you are inserting. you seem to have password and encryptpass as columns but only one password type variable.
