Timestamp :: Registration Date
As a newbie to MySQL and PHP, I have been able to set up MySQL as test server on my MacOS X and have also succeeded in connecting my test sites registration form to the proper table in MySQL.
Everything works fine except getting MySQL to insert the registration date/time automatically as a new record is posted. I have created two "Timestamp"-date columns - the first one for "Change date" and the second for "Registration date". According to what I can gather from reading, this should do the trick, but it doesn't. No date or time is inserted in the registration date field.
Can someone explain (in newbie terms) what I am doing wrong and what I should do to make it work? I want the registration date to be filled-in automatically in every new record and then stay unchanged even if other parts of the record are changed.

Date Vs Timestamp
I have a somewhat large table (about 900,000 rows). I regularly need to run many queries against this table and it's is rather slow. Before making any major changes, I wanted to confirm whether the following changes would help. Right now, I run a query like this: SELECT count(*) FROM refer WHERE date >= '$date1' AND date <= '$date2' However, "date" is actually of type timestamp. So I have an index on the field, but it has the same cardinality as the number of rows, as you might expect. I've also heard using a reserved word of 'date' can be a problem, but not sure if that's a performance issue. I think I may occasionally still need this level of granularity for some things, but 99% of the time, I really only need the actual date for my SELECT statements. I'm thinking it might be best to create a field2 that is of type date and use that for the queries, with an index, and drop the index on field1 altogether. The more I think about the more I'm convinced the way I'm doing it now is the reason it is so slow. Can someone please confirm my stupidity?

How To Get Just Date To Display In Field When Using TIMESTAMP?
I would like to capture the date and time in a field for each record. I know that using TIMESTAMP and default value of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns the full date and time but I only want the date displayed in my webpage table when displaying the records. Should I be using something else other than TIMESTAMP or is there some parameters I can use to do this?

DATE / TIMESTAMP Default Values
im is having problems with auto inserting date in my table. I dont know what is the default value i will set if column type to DATE. It was succesful though if is use the TIMESTAMP type in the column and is using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the dafault value. mysql automatically inserts the current date and time to the database everytime a new record is inserted. The problem with using TIMESTAMP is that i only want the date and not the additional time. Is there a default value I can use for the DATE function instead of using TIMESTAMP? I already tried NOW(), CURDATE(), CURRENT_DATE() to no avail

TIMESTAMP :: Creation And Update Date
I want to create an auto creation date and update date in my mysql table. I am using the "MySQL Cookbook" approach, using the TIMESTAMP field which basically is: - create 2 new fields in the table (t_create and t_update) - both NULL - when a new record is created they both will register a common timestamp - when the record is modified the t_update will change, but not the t_create

MySQL/PHP Registration Form Problem
I have created a registration form for a company using PHP to validate form inputs and send the information to the database; great. It works. One problem though, is that although the data is all inserted properly, the email sends properly for activation, a MySQL error message still pops up when the "Thank You for Registering" Prints(echo), following successful form submission. Question: Is there an easy way to identify this unwanted error message and eliminate it? The form is quite large and there are numerous places it could generate such error. It says: "A system error occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience." This is not the messages set to echo, but rather a MySQL system error.

Date :: Select X Number Of Months Ahead Of Current Date
I am trying to query dates stored in my mysql database... eg: 2005-12-13 (13th Dec 2005) 2006-03-14 (14th Mar 2005) My SQL query needs to fetch all the records which are X number of months ahead of the current date. eg: I query it saying "get me all records where the date is 1 month from now.... I have used this (MONTH(date_review)-MONTH(CURDATE())) which returns 1 - so this is ok - as it's November, and december is one month away.... but when I ask for 3 months - it wont get the records... I know I somehow need to add the months on - but how do I do this with the year attached too?

Output Multiple Records From Start Date To End Date?
Firstly I'm using MySQL 5 on Win2003. I have a DB table that has multple columns, but the 2 columns I am interested in are DATE_START and DATE_END. So I'll have many records in the DB and the values in these fields will be anything like: DATE_START=2006-10-23 DATE_END=2006-10-26 Or if its a 1 day thing it will be sumin like: DATE_START=2006-10-23 DATE_END=2006-10-23 Is there anyway I can output multiple records from the DB for that one record between those dates? For example, the first record above would output: TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-23 TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-24 TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-25 TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-26 So basically I get a loop of all dates between the start and end date? Before anyone asks, no I can't loop through this in the code! I have a calendar, and all the dates are created and I just need to populate these dates with the records... and I won't go into detail, but without querying every day, this is the best way by far to do it... just need to know if it can be done?

Latest Date Entry + Future Date
My requirement is data to be added to database depending on dates. Like If the user wants to add data for the next 10 days,the data should be added with a corresponding column containing the next 10 days' dates. Then if he logs in tomorrow and wishes to add data for another 100 days,it should find the last date added and then add data with the next 100 dates starting from that date. Also I would want to display these dates to the user.So can you suggest which type to be used for database field and also the date functions(mysql as well as php) to be achieved. Let me put it more clearly. "select the last date(which might be future dates) entered in the database"; If the date is Oct10 and the user wants to add entries for Oct 11,12 13 "insert into table values('data','oct11')" ...... ...... likewise for Oct12 and 13 The format I need is just year,month and day.No time is required.

Value Of Timestamp
I wonder if anybody knows for certain what the value of a field with data type timestamp will be? a) The value will be the time when the update is performed? b) The time when the transaction is committed? The reason I ask is because it could make a significant difference. imagine the following. I am interested in reading all changes in a table made between time T0 and time T5. later I will to the same but between time T5 and time T10. then imagine this: T0 T4 - someone makes an update (transaction tx1 is started) T5 - run query that checks for changes between T0 and T5 T6 - tx1 is committed T10 - run query that checks for changes between T5 and T10 if value of timestamp is according to a) then I will never find out that a change was made. if it is according to b) I will see the change at time T10 when I run my query.
