manix Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 I am using the function properly, I just made a typo in the rush, I do have double quotes and when I echo the date it is correct, but I can not insert it in the database, and it's not giving me any error it's just not inserting it >.< Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243857-string-to-date/#findComment-1252118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 missing double quotes: $date = date("Y-m-d"); *** Just quotes in general. In this case, single quotes would be a little better, as double quoted strings are parsed, and we don't need parsing in this case Can you give us a dump of the table and the query used?

manix Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 quotes are not the problem, echo $date; returns 2011-08-04 so it's alright Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243857-string-to-date/#findComment-1252125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebStyles Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 well, if the problem are not the missing quotes (I guarantee that was ONE of the problems)... since you only gave us one line of code, how are we supposed to fix the rest ?

manix Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 God, it works now... I hate it when this happens, I haven't edited any of the code that inserts the date and yet it works now and I never found where the problem was >.< anyways, sorry for wasting your time..
