I'm been looking for an answer to this but can't really find it. I have four Drop Down Menus with date and time info that I want to compile and update (or insert) into a Datetime column. Also, I'm kinda newbie at PHP and been relying on Dreamweaver for the update/insert functions. Here is how you do it. The trick is to replace GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['DateField'], "date")); in the Update area that Dreamweaver constructs with GetSQLValueString($Datetime, "date")); . I constructed the $Datetime a stupid way but it works.
<? require_once('Connections/MyConnection.php'); ?>
<?
$Y = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Year'];
$M = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Month'];
$D = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Day'];
$T = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Time'];
$S = "-";
$SS = " ";
$Datetime = $Y.$S.$M.$S.$D.$SS.$T;
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
$theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "long":
case "int":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "double":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "date":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "defined":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
break;
}
return $theValue;
}
$editFormAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
}
if ((isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_update"])) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE EManager SET Date=%s WHERE MNGID=%s",
GetSQLValueString($Datetime,"date"),
GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['MNGID'], "int"));
mysql_select_db($database_MyConnection, $MyConnection);
$Result1 = mysql_query($updateSQL, $MyConnection) or die(mysql_error());
$updateGoTo = "nextpage.php";
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$updateGoTo .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$updateGoTo .= $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
}
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo));
}
?>
