I've created a form that submits data to a MySQL database but
the Date, Time, Year and
Month fields constantly revert to
the exact same date (1st January 1970) despite
the fact that when I submit
the information to
the database
the form displays
the current date, time etc to me. I've already set it so that
the time and date fields automatically display
the current time and date. Could someone please help me with this.
Form:
<html>
<head>
<title>Blog | New Post</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/newposts.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="new-form">
<div class="header">
<a href="edit.php"><img src="images/edit-home-button.png"></a>
</div>
<div class="form-bg">
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$month = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['
month']));
$date = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['date']));
$year = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['year']));
$time = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['time']));
$title = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['title']));
$entry = $_POST['entry'];
$timestamp = strtotime($month . " " . $date . " " . $year . " " . $time);
$entry = nl2br($entry);
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$title = addslashes($title);
$entry = addslashes($entry);
}
mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root', 'root') ;
mysql_select_db ('tmlblog');
$sql = "INSERT INTO php_blog (timestamp,title,entry) VALUES ('$timestamp','$title','$entry')";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or print("Can't insert into table php_blog.<br />" . $sql . "<br />" . mysql_error());
if ($result != false) {
print "<p class=\"success\">Your entry has successfully been entered into
the blog. </p>";
}
mysql_close();
}
?>
