Thanks. NOW() and php date(); work for my newly created test tables, but it
doesn't work for my working table. I can't insert date, time or now()
into my old table (which is as below).
For now, I'm using MySQL auto timestamp ('Updated' field), but I need to
insert date when the data was created!
Why is this? Please help me. (I'm using the newest versions of PHP and
MySQL)
This is MySQL data structure. - I underlined where it causes the error
message. (datetime)
`id_Company` smallint(6) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`Name` varchar(50) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL
`Revenue` mediumint(6) NOT NULL,
`Company_Size` mediumint(6) NOT NULL,
`Ownership` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
`Homepage` varchar(50) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`Job_Source` varchar(100) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT
NULL,
`Updated` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
*`Created` datetime NOT NULL,
*PRIMARY KEY (`id_Company`),
KEY `Ownership` (`Ownership`)
)
ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
FOREIGN KEY (`Ownership`) REFERENCES `ownership` (`id_Ownership`) ON DELETE
CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE;
Here is php script -----------------------------
$sql = "INSERT INTO company SET
Name='$Name',
Revenue='$Revenue',
Company_Size='$Company_Size',
Ownership='$Ownership',
Homepage='$Homepage',
Job_Source='$Job_Source'
*Created=NOW() // if I remove this line it works fine.
*";
mysql_query ($sql) or die (mysql_error());
Also, this doesn't work for this table.
$Datetime = date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
INSERT INTO ....
Created='$Datetime'...
