>Description:
The following line inputs the current UNIX time into a field -
date_start - with the date_stop filed defaulting to '0':
insert into contract_work (sess_id,email,date_start)
values('bde32bfde3ac89c7d510df573bb6bb88','Joe Bloggs',unix_timestamp())
The result is as follows:
+----+----------------------------------+-------------------+----------------+----------------+-------+------------+
| id | sess_id | email | date_start |
|date_stop | hours | total_time |
+----+----------------------------------+-------------------+----------------+----------------+-------+------------+
| 1 | bde32bfde3ac89c7d510df573bb6bb88 | Joe Bloggs | 20001129051306 |
|00000000000000 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
+----+----------------------------------+-------------------+----------------+----------------+-------+------------+
However, when I want to update the date_stop field with a query like this:
update contract_work set date_stop = unix_timestamp() where sess_id =
'bde32bfde3ac89c7d510df573bb6bb88' and email = 'Joe Bloggs'
the result is this:
+----+----------------------------------+-------------------+----------------+----------------+-------+------------+
| id | sess_id | email | date_start |
|date_stop | hours | total_time |
+----+----------------------------------+-------------------+----------------+----------------+-------+------------+
| 1 | bde32bfde3ac89c7d510df573bb6bb88 | Joe Bloggs | 20010520045835 |
|20001129051515 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
+----+----------------------------------+-------------------+----------------+----------------+-------+------------+
NOTE: the date_start time is no longer a UNIX_TIMESTAMP, but is a
current_date.
>How-To-Repeat:
I can repeat this ad nauseum by simply following the code above. The
table description is as follows:
+------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| sess_id | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | |
| email | varchar(64) | YES | | NULL | |
| date_start | timestamp(14) | YES | | NULL | |
| date_stop | timestamp(14) | YES | | NULL | |
| hours | float(5,2) | | | 0.00 | |
| total_time | float(5,2) | | | 0.00 | |
+------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
>Fix:
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this prob because I don't know
what's causing it.
