I'm having problems getting the date inserted properly into my database.
$date = date('m/d/Y h:i:s', time());
I use this format, and, it echoes out correctly, however, when, I insert
mysql_query("INSERT INTO table
(dateposted)
VALUES ('$date')");
it doesn't appear to work successfully, and, the time remains 00:00:00 If you could find the solution that would be great, thanks.
I would say just build it yourself. You can set it up like this:
$query = "INSERT INTO x (a,b,c) VALUES ";
foreach ($arr as $item) {
$query .= "('".$item[0]."','".$item[1]."','".$item[2]."'),";
}
$query = rtrim($query,",");//remove the extra comma
//execute query
Don't forget to escape quotes if it's necessary.
Also, be careful that there's not too much data being sent at once. You may have to execute it in chunks instead of all at once.
The function you're looking for is find_in_set:
select * from ... where find_in_set($word, pets)
for multi-word queries you'll need to test each word and AND (or OR) the tests:
where find_in_set($word1, pets) AND find_in_set($word2, pets) etc
DATE is a built-in type in Oracle, which is represented in a fixed way and you have no control over it.
So:
I want it to insert [...] as 08/01/2011 12:00:00 AM
The above is nonsensical. You don't insert a string, you insert a date.
Format is useful only when you want:
TO_DATE (format mask: how to parse the string);TO_CHAR (format mask: how to render the date).So basically, in your example you take a DATE, you convert it to a STRING with some format, and convert it back to DATE with the same format. This is a no-op.
Now, what your client displays: this is because your Oracle Client won't display DATE fields directly and the NLS layer will convert any DATE field that is selected. So it depends on your locale by default.
What you want is SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD/MM/YYYY') FROM dual; which will explicitly perform the conversion and return a string.
And when you want to insert a date in a database, you can use TO_DATE or date literals.
There isn't a way to do this on Bulk Insert. You have 2 options.
If you're looking to store the current time just use MYSQL's functions.
If you need to use PHP to do it, the format it
Y-m-d H:i:sso try
