[code]
$showdate = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
[/code]

It'll show like "October 5, 2006, 5:29 pm"

the show date on the page works..it just does'nt go into the DB.
thx
Charlie

[marcus]

well, how are you submitting it? because if i'm right your sql is incorrect

[code]
$query = "INSERT INTO onlineform VALUES ('','$name','$Cname','$email','$Query', '$Pnumber', '$date')";
[/code]

should be:
[code]
$query = "INSERT INTO onlineform VALUES ('','$name','$Cname','$email','$Query', '$Pnumber', '$showdate')";
[/code]

[2wasted]

tryed that still 0000-00-00 00:00:00
thx
Charlie

mysql_query($query);
[/code]

[marcus]

that's what he has.

did you change the $showdate to [code]$showdate = date("F j, Y, g:i a");[/code]

do that, then edit your sql

[code]
$query = "INSERT INTO onlineform VALUES ('$name','$Cname','$email','$Query', '$Pnumber', '$showdate')";
mysql_query($query);
[/code]

you had $date while $date = time();, showdate is the date

[marcus]

if you have a form do:

[code]
<input type=hidden value='<?php echo $showdate ?>'>
[/code]

[redarrow]

you got the insert set as date so you need to set $date=date();

dont you.

you got showdate but the insert looking for $date.

[marcus]

he has:

$date = time();
and $showdate = date();

[marcus]

this should be your final code

[code]
<?PHP
    $Name=$_POST['name'];
  $Cname=$_POST['cname'];
  $Query=$_POST['Question'];
  $email=$_POST['email'];
  $Pnumber=$_POST['Pnumber'];
  $date = time();
  $showdate = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
mysql_select_db($database_csc, $csc);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM onlineform";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $csc) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
$query_Recordset1 or die( "Unable to select database");
if($_POST['submit']) {

$query = "INSERT INTO onlineform VALUES ('','$name','$Cname','$email','$Query', '$Pnumber', '$showdate')";
mysql_query($query);

mysql_close();


  echo "<h2>THank you for filling in this form, we will be in touch with you ASAP</h2>";
  echo $showdate;
}

?>[/code]

I have had a good look know and your insert is wrong as the insert has to be in the same order as the database and yours isint.

have a look at you database field order and match aginst you insert on here the order i think is wrong  sorry.

[2wasted]

this is what i have changed it to and it still does'nt work

        $Name=$_POST['name'];
$Cname=$_POST['cname'];
$Query=$_POST['Question'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$Pnumber=$_POST['Pnumber'];
$date = time();
$query = "INSERT INTO onlineform VALUES ('','$name','$Cname','$email','$Query', '$Pnumber', '$showdate')";
mysql_query($query);

mysql_close();


  echo "<h2>THank you for filling in this form, we will be in touch with you ASAP</h2>";
  //echo $showdate;

[marcus]

copy my code

[2wasted]

my inserts are the same order as my database m8

[redarrow]

post your database please cheers.

[2wasted]

id int
name vachar
Cname varchar
email varchar
query varchar
Pnumber varchar
date timestamp

[marcus]

is id primary key w/ auto_increment?

[redarrow]

[code]
<?php

   $Name=$_POST['name'];
   $Cname=$_POST['cname'];
   $Query=$_POST['Question'];
   $email=$_POST['email'];
   $Pnumber=$_POST['Pnumber'];
   $date = time();
   $showdate = date("H:i:s d/m/Y");


mysql_select_db($database_csc, $csc);

$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM onlineform";

$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $csc) or die(mysql_error());

$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);

$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);

$query_Recordset1 or die( "Unable to select database");

if($_POST['submit']) {

$query = "INSERT INTO onlineform VALUES ('$id','$name','$Cname','$email','$Query', '$Pnumber', '$date')";

mysql_query($query)or die("insert is dead");


echo "<h2>THank you for filling in this form, we will be in touch with you ASAP</h2>";
echo $showdate;

}

?>
[/code]

[marcus]

[code]
$query = "INSERT INTO onlineform (name,Cname,email,query,Pnumber,date) VALUES ('$name','$Cname','$email','$Query', '$Pnumber', '$date')";
[/code]

try that

[/code]

try that
[/quote]
still the same m8

[Skatecrazy1]

my god, why is there such a big problem on this

just do it EXACTLY like this

copy the variable code I give you

this is how I did it on my news script

[code]
$timestamp = date('M j, Y  g:i A');
[/code]

then just insert $timestamp into your date field

it's very simple actually.

[redarrow]

hes not posting show date is he.

$showdate=$_POST['showdate'];
$date=$_POST['date'];
