Date Is Not Being Pulled From MYSQL Database, Instead Current Date Is Displayed!


I am having trouble pulling a date from a database using PHP at the <a
href="http://www.mytuneslive.com/ameshkin69/"> following page.</a>

Here is the code. As you can see, it is just making the date the
current time. The values in the database are UNIX timestamp, and the
DATE() function is used to convert from UNIX to readable date. Can

<td width="55%" align="left" valign="top"><?php
$row_comment['timestamp'] = date("n d Y g:i A");.....

Current Date In Php
I have a fresh installation of PHP 5.0.4, ISAPI module , on a win2003 with
IIS 6.0 and mssql 2000. When I query MSSQL using "mssql_query( )" function
using the following:
"INSERT INTO DATES
(date)
VALUES ({ fn CURDATE() })"
The value <null> is writen on the date field of table DATES.
Does anyone have a logical explanation for this?

Reading And Displaying A Date From A MySql Database
I've just started using php, and although I am very impressed by it,
there are some things with which I am confounded!

What I'm trying to do is read in a Date from a mySql database and then
display it on screen (the Date is in the usual yyyy-mm-dd format).

If I use SQL on phpadmin
SELECT Date
FROM details
WHERE details.Name = "Paul Lee"
LIMIT 0 , 30

The result comes up 2005-01-01, so this seems to work.
But if I use the following:

$db = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","");
@mysqli_select_db($db, "personnel") or die ( "Unable to select
database" );
$query = 'SELECT Date FROM details WHERE details.Name = "Paul Lee"
LIMIT 0, 30'

$result=mysqli_query($db, $query);

echo "<br>";

echo $result;

mysqli_close($db);

I get "Object id #2" displayed on screen.
I have tried to use the explode function to separate the months, year
and day using the "-" as a delimeter, but this doesn't work, and I
can't seem to get the other php date/time functions to work either.

Pulling Data From A MySQL Database With PHP Date Code??

Inserting Current Time/date.
I am trying to insert the current date/time into a MySQL table field when a record is inserted, however i cannot get it to work. My PHP is basically like this:-

$sql = "INSERT INTO Table (ref,title,first,surname,telephone,mobile,ila,ila_date,status)
VALUES ('$ref','$title','$first','$surname','$telephone','$mobile','$ila','NOW()','$status')";

The field called "ila_date" is where i want to add the current date/time. Ive read about the NOW() function, but i think im useing it incorrectly. My MySQL table column "ila_date" is of type timestamp(14).

How Can I Insert Current Date / Time?
I have the following section of php code which updates a mysql record
from a form. For the values of livedate and livetime I need to insert

GetSQLValueString(current_date(), "date")

The error is Fatal error: Call to undefined function: current_date()

if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "frmaddsw")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE software SET title=%s, shortdesc=%s,

Event Date:  Jun 12, 2007 8:00 PM
 
Event Date:  May 31, 2007 8:15 PM
Event Date:  May 24, 2007 6:00 PM
Event Date:  Apr 24, 2007 6:00 PM

Taking Date Of Birth From User And Sending It To A Mysql Database

Date Dropdown From Mysql Date Entries
For the PHP gurus out there, here is what I want to do: create a dropdown list of available dates from a mysql database date entries. But the dropdown/s should have 3 separate fields in month, day and year which in effect shows only those months, days and years that have corresponding entries from the database.

Planning to use this in the archive section of an online news publication so people can select issues to view via dropdown list that have corresponding entries only.

UNIX Mktime To MySQL Date Or Date
A form that sends a starting date and an ending date. I have figured out how to tell the difference between the two and even rip the difference into an array because I need to compare the individual dates against a mySQL database to pull results from a particular date in a series. This is no problem. My problem is that teh mySQL database uses DATE as a field definition and this can not be changed. I managed to pull the date differences using some cleaver mktime stuff but no I do not know how to get this 1072242000 into this 2003-12-24...

Is there a function that reverses the mktime result into a usable date format? I would take anything at this point and I can explode and then array it to get what I want - but there has to be something. Code:

Formatting Date From MYSQL Date Field

Date Formats, Current/Historical Mode, LAMP Env
I'm working in a Lamp environment, (actually WAMP), am using one of the
many Calendar widgets (that has configurable formats), and have a heavy
data in/data out (forms/reports) webapp.

This is probably more of a design issue, than PHP issue, but we all
deal with this.
My 1st priority has been for simplicity, so I have used std. MySQL
format for the text input that feeds into the table.Column.

There are problems with that and I'd like to find out what better
choices may be available.
Obviously, choosing another format for forms-reports would require
manipulation of date to/from DB. What is the best way this be
implemented with consistency ?

I have considered saving space on the screen by working with implied
years but this seems destined to prove a headache no matter what. YY
format would be ambiguous in a decade. Mode System: Current or
Historical ? Use OO or switch() to present Xhtml reports
differently. Can it be made to change modes automatically ?

Put Today's Date Into A MySQL "date" Formated Field
My MySQL table has a field that is set as type "date." I need to get
today's date, and insert it into that field. The default for that MySQL
field is 2006-00-00.

I know about the date() function. I have tried date("Y-m-d") and
date("U"), neither worked. The date field was just filed with all
zeros.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Check Date From Input Must Greater Or Equal Today Date?
I have 3 select box. Code:

<option value="01"> Jan </option>
<option value="02"> Feb </option>
.....
</select>

<select name="year">
<option value="2002">2002 </option>
<option value="2003">2003</option>
</select>

When I select and click submit in form. I will have 3 variable :

$day, $month and $year

How can I check the day that I choose in form must equal or greater than today date? If it less than today date. I must print error message to user.

DATE Doesn't Get Into Database

Date Database?
The admin assistants can enter the number of hours that each employee has worked on a particular date in a particular month (hours are variable depending upon customer demand) and at the end of the month need to run off a pay slip for each employee containing the following data:

Read Today's Date Print Tomorrow's Date
I've got a small script that writes a random number and the date to a text file. Then the script opens this text file and if date = date from this text file something must happen.
If something happened this script must open this text file again and replace it with a new random number and tomorrow's date.

<?php

$date = date("d-m-Y");
mt_srand((double)microtime()*10000000000);
$num=mt_rand(0, 20);
if ($num == $num && $date == "$tomorrowdate") { echo"$num -- $date";}
else
echo " ";?>

So if the script gets activated on the 05-05-2003 it must write tomorrow's date into the text file (06-05-2003). How will I get tomorrow's date today?

Save Date To Table Field Date Type
I have a calendar picker on a form that fills a text box with  XX/XX/XXXX  date format. If I run a insert statement  the date field in the database shows 0000-00-00. If i change the field type to varchar  the correct format displays.

Any pointers?

What Is The Proper Date Format For A Txt Database?
I would like to know what format should be used when writing to a txt file. I am trying to search between a start date and a ending date and list any variables For example.

if (($sDate <= $jdate && $eDate >= $jdate))

then I have it list the variables it will work if searching between months and days but it does not work if I have different years. I will get all years printed out.

my date format is m/d/Y 6/13/2001

If I search for example start date = 6/01/2001 and the ending date = 6/09/2001

I will get the correct month and day dates but I also get anything from the year before and including year in the future.

Date & Time Format In Database.
I'm using MySQL database, the problem is I've setup that user input the Date format in dd/mm/yyyy (example: 14may2007) and Time (example: 12:00pm). How do I convert it to Date & Time format in database format before insert into database? Sorry, noob here.

Calculating Dates From A Date In The Database?
I`m using this format of dates:

$entry_date = strftime("%B %e, %Y %H:%M:%S", time());
And that time gets saved into the database (birth in ownedpets database):

$res = mysql_query("SELECT id, owner, pet_type, pet_name, birth, food, play, datetime FROM ownedpets WHERE id=$id");
$rows = mysql_fetch_row($res);
mysql_free_result($res);

So let`s say in this case, the database birth value ($rows[4]) is October 19 2007 20:00:00. What do I do to tell php to check to see if the current date (hours and all don`t matter) is 21 days after the $rows[4]?

Why I`m looking for this task:
For the pets system, if the pet is 21 days after it`s birth, it will be an adult. But if it is not 21 days after it`s birth, it will still be a baby.

Today's Date In Database Insertion
How do I insert today's date in a certain database row without using the date() function for a string?  For example, when you use PHPMyAdmin to insert a new table row and there's a column with the type "date", it gives you options such as CURDATE, NOW, etc.  How would I use that in a database query?

Convert Date From A Database Query
I have a simple database for events. I have a column named "date" that I would like to display as "March 8, 2007" on the webpage. What do I need to add to change the date format? Here is my php code:

Start Date - End Date = Number Of Days
I have a starting date for var 1 and today’s date for var 2. I need to calculate how many days are between those two dates.

02/24/03(today) - 01/14/2002(start date) = number of days.

In theory this is easy but there are many instances were I could get an inaccurate answer. For example one consideration is that some months have 30 days others have 31. exc.

My question is, is there an easier way to solve this problem other than using endless if statments to error handle all possible instances? Does PHP4 have any built in functions that could calculate this formula correctly?

Displaying Text Pulled From A MySQL DB
I have a web edit, delete and update script set up. its all working pretty much as i need except for one thing, the editing function.

When an admin clicks edit beside an entry that page is resubmitted using $PHP_SELF and a variable is set. A check is then carried out in each form field to see if this variable is set, if it is set then a query is carried out and it enters the value of the query result for a table field as the value for the form field. You can see this in the code below.

My problem is this: when the values of the DB are echoes out into the form fields they dont display correctly or they just display the first word until they reach the first space and then nothing else. PHP Code:

Date() Gives Me Yesterday's Date And Not Today's - Why?

will be "2/9/2006".

However, when viewing the page using the display:

Date Conversions ( Date, Mktime )
I have a date in three pieces dd mm yyyy.
I'm just wondering the best way to convert this for inserting into a

I have tried date, strtotime mktime but it keeps inserting a blank
date. i.e. 00:00:00 00:00...

I've been looking through the php manual but I can't seem to get this
working.
Also would I be better off using the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function?

Convert User Entered Date And Time To Unix Timestamp Before Inserting To Database
How do you convert a user inputted date to a unix timestamp before
insterting it into your database? I have a form, with a textfield for
a date that the user inputs in the format mm-dd-yyyy and three dropdow
boxes for hours, minutes, and AM/PM. All of these need to be considered
together and converted to one Unix Timestamp and then inserted to the
MYSQL date field. The type of field is INT (11) so that I can instead
of the standard 0000-00-00 format of MYSQL so that I can do better
calculations and queries.

Date Mysql Vs Php
I had a question regarding php gathering a MYSQL and then formating the date. This was answered, however, like most things in life, there was more than one way to do it.

The question now is this: What is the most optimal way of handling date formating. This might even be important for other such queries. Should PHP be used or MSQL? Is there a speed issue?
