[SOLVED] Date Giving problem in PHP

gc40 · August 24, 2007

Hey All,

I am creating a script to add/edit/delete NET ASSET values for a website.

However, when I "update" the value of a net asset, the NAV and NETAsset output fine, however, the date is updated as 00-00-0000 rather than the actual date.

Can anyone look at my script and telling me why the date is outputting as 00-00-0000 rather than the date that is selected?


<?php

include ("config.php");
$today = date("Y-m-d");
$submit=$_REQUEST['submit'];
$id=$_REQUEST['id'];
$del=$_REQUEST['del'];
$netassets=$_REQUEST['netassets'];
$nav=$_REQUEST['nav'];
$day=$_REQUEST['day'];
$month=$_REQUEST['month'];
$year=$_REQUEST['year'];
if(isset($submit))
{
$fulldate = $year . "-" . $month . "-" . $date;

  if($submit == 'Delete')
{
	$sql = "delete from navs where id = '$id'";

	$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);

	if($result)
	{
		echo("The NAV was deleted successfully.");
		echo("<form action='nav_index.php?action=editnav' method='POST'><p>");
		echo("<input type='submit' name='submit' value='OK' class=\"submit button\"></form)");
	}

}

else if($submit == 'Update')
{
	$netassets=$_POST['netassets'];
	$nav=$_POST['nav'];
	$year=$_POST['year'];
	$month=$_POST['month'];
	$day=$_POST['day'];
	$fulldate=$_POST['fulldate'];
	$postdate=$_POST['postdate'];

	$sql = "update navs set NetAssets='$netassets',Nav='$nav', Offer='$offer', Date='$postdate', Bid='$bid' where id = '$id'";

	$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);
	if($result)
	{

		echo("<form action='nav_index.php?action=editnav' method='POST' onSubmit='fnsubmit()'>");

Can you add "print $sql" before the mysql query in question, so we can see what query you are running?

gc40 · August 24, 2007

Nothing is being output :S I am using this script to update the values of selected fields, not output anything. All I need help with is one simple date value.

It works when outputting just fine.

If it is January 1st, 2001, then it would output 01-01-2001, However, when I go to update that said field, it would change the 01-01-2001 to 00-00-0000

HELP, PLEASE>

teng84 · August 24, 2007

code is too long please paste only your prob...

btherl · August 24, 2007

I'm asking for you to print the query itself, not the query results $sql is the variable name you use for your queries.

chronister · August 24, 2007

When trying to troubleshoot a query issue, one of the first things you should do is echo the query so you can see what is actually being sent to the database. echo $sql and post the results here

gc40 · August 24, 2007

What line should i put the echo $sql on?

gc40 · August 24, 2007

<?php echo($sql); ?>

echo ($sql);

And both statements are returning nothing. The script itself is working great. Netasset and Nav are outputting and updating successfully...

chronister · August 24, 2007

You are setting $today as a formatted date string, but you don't use it anywhere. you are inserting $postdate into the DB. Could this have something to do with the issue?

Don't use () with echo, it's unnecessary.

<?php echo $sql; ?>

chronister · August 24, 2007

$sql = "update navs set NetAssets='$netassets',Nav='$nav', Offer='$offer', Date='$postdate', Bid='$bid' where id = '$id'";

echo $sql;

what is the result of that?

gc40 · August 24, 2007

The only thing that is being output is the while statement information...

Date | Net Assets | Nav | Action

The information from the database is being output.

chronister · August 24, 2007

ok, add the echo $sql right after the query I posted a minute ago and then run the file. You will see the query on screen. Copy and paste here so we can see what the query is actually returning.

chronister · August 24, 2007

I got no problem with the PM, but if we keep the conversation here, then others may learn something.

And I still did not see the query echo'd on screen

gc40 · August 24, 2007

The reason for the PM is because I don't want the link to be posted up. I figured you could help better with seeing the link. I did put the ECHO statement with the $sql variable in there. Thats the problem, nothing is outpuutting other than the usual information.

chronister · August 24, 2007

In order for that to echo, you will have to make that query actually run. It is an update query, so make sure the echo is there and then update a record. Once that query runs, it will print it on screen.

gc40 · August 24, 2007

update navs set NetAssets='4',Nav='4', Offer='', Date='', Bid='' where id = '40'update navs set NetAssets='4',Nav='4', Offer='', Date='', Bid='' where id = '40'The NAV was updated successfully.

gc40 · August 24, 2007

update navs set NetAssets='4',Nav='4', Date='' where id = '40'update navs set NetAssets='4',Nav='4', Date='' where id = '40'

Okay, I see the problem, nothing is being output to Date.

However, I have the variable:

$postdate = $year."-".$month."-".$day;

Which should combine year, month and day to form 00-00-0000, but its not working. Anyone have an idea why?

chronister · August 24, 2007

$postdate=$_POST['postdate']; <-- Here your setting $postdate, and using it right after.

$sql = "update navs set NetAssets='$netassets',Nav='$nav', Offer='$offer', Date='$postdate', Bid='$bid' where id = '$id'";

$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);

Is the postdate field displaying in the correct format??

gc40 · August 24, 2007

So don't set it then? Remove that line of code? What do you suggest?

gc40 · August 24, 2007

HERE IS THE NEW CODE:


<?php
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
include ("../class/config.php");
$today = date("Y-m-d");

$submit=$_REQUEST['submit'];
$id=$_REQUEST['id'];
$del=$_REQUEST['del'];
if(isset($submit))
{
$fulldate = $year . "-" . $month . "-" . $date;

  if($submit == 'Delete')
{
	$sql = "delete from navs where id = '$id'";

	$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);

	if($result)
	{
		echo("The NAV was deleted successfully.");
		echo("<form action='nav_index.php?action=editnav' method='POST'><p>");
		echo("<input type='submit' name='submit' value='OK' class=\"submit button\"></form)");
	}

}

else if($submit == 'Update')
{
	$netassets=$_POST['netassets'];
	$nav=$_POST['nav'];

$sql = "update navs set NetAssets='$netassets',Nav='$nav', Date='$postdate' where id = '$id'";

echo $sql;

	$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);
	if($result)
	{
		echo $sql;
		echo("The NAV was updated successfully.");
		echo("<form action='nav_index.php?action=editnav' method='POST' onSubmit='fnsubmit()'>");

Whether you set it or not is your choice. You are still trying to explicitly update that field to NULL which is going to produce 00-00-0000.

If you want the date to be updated to the correct date, then I would make sure that $postdate is displaying the data in the format you want it in.

gc40 · August 24, 2007

Can you suggest a solution, I am completely lost. I have tried everything I KNOW. I don't know what else to do to get postdate to output the date.

p.s. It is in the right format, just not outputting a value when updating, only a NULL value (00-00-0000)

keeB · August 24, 2007

Just a quick general rule of thumb. Don't actually delete things, have a mark/flag which tells your client it's deleted (a status field, a bit column enabled, etc.

chronister · August 24, 2007

@keeB -- Why not actually delete things?? What is the problem of deleting things that you don't want in the DB anymore? I am curious about the logic behind this. I kinda like the idea too, seems like it could be very useful in some cases

gc40 · August 24, 2007

Why would I want a status field? I don't want to have extra database entries that are not need. Especially if the database size gets too big. The only reason I can see keeping deleted entries is for backup/accidentals deletion purposes.

Getting back to my main problem though. How do I get date to output the date value combined of Year, Month and Day in the format 00-00-0000
