mysql/php date functions..

2005-09-26 Thread bruce
hi...

i've got a question/problem that i can't seem to figure out. it should be
simple/straightforward.

i'm creating a test tbl
 id int
 t1 timestamp

when i do a 'select * from tbl' i get what looks like a default date/time
format in the timestamp column.

i do a, (from mysql)
 'insert into tbl (id, t1) values (1, 33)' and it fails...

i do a,
 'insert into tbl (id, t1) values (1, now())' and it works...

after i do the 'now()', i see what also looks like a date/time format in the
timestamp column.

any ideas/comments/thoughts as to what might be going on...

thanks...

ps. my goal is to create a quick/test php app where i can use the php
'time()' functin and insert it into the mysql tbl!!!

33 is not a valid date/time.
Did you try :
'insert into tbl (id) values (1)'  ?

Yes, it is working.

Why? Timestamps update themselves. You don't need to insert them.
You might try reading the manual for a description of how timestamp works.
