Unix

[steveangelis]

I havelook around but not found what I need.

 

I am tryingto do something simple and it will not work for me correctly:

 

mysql_query("insert into test SET test = UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW())");

$result=mysql_query("SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(test) AS FORMATED_TIME FROM test"); 
$FORMATED_TIME=mysql_result($result,0,"FORMATED_TIME"); 

$date=date("H:i:sa",$FORMATED_TIME); 

echo "$date"; 

 

What this SHOULD do is insert the current date/time into the database and retreive it to show it but I am getting this:

 

16:00:00pm

 

What am I doing wrong?

What datatype is test column?

You should use DATETIME or TIMESTAMP instead.
