Hi All,

I’m using, the script below (with many text fields left out) to create new records in the table 'listen_live', and it creates a record, but when I look at the record or the database table, dates like createdDate and updatedDate are coming up blank. (0000-00-00 00:00:00 in the database table). I also tried curdate() and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP().

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jerry Kornbluth

<?php
mysqlStrictMode(false);
$tablename = 'listen_live';
$colsToValues = array();
$colsToValues['hidden'] = 0;
$colsToValues['createdDate'] = 'NOW()';
$colsToValues['updatedDate'] = 'NOW()';
$colsToValues['time'] = "7:00 to 10:00 PM";
$newRecordNum = mysql_insert($tablename, $colsToValues, true);
?>

Hi Jerry,

When setting up your $colsToValues array, if you want to use a MySQL function like "NOW()", the field name needs to be appended with "=" like this:

$colsToValues['createdDate='] = 'NOW()';

Let me know if this fixes the issue, or if you have any other questions!

Thanks,
