Can someone show me how I would add a date automatically upon submit to this page? The DB id is “table1” and the feild id is “date”.

My code:

<?php

if (isset($_POST["submit"]) && $_POST["submit"] == "Submit")
{
    for ($count = 1; $count <= 9; $count++)
    {
        $fields[$count] = "";
        if (isset($_POST["field" . $count . ""]))
        {
            $fields[$count] = trim($_POST["field" . $count . ""]);
            //echo $fields[$count] . "<br />";
        }
    }

    $con = mysql_connect("local", "user", "pass");
    mysql_select_db("DB", $con);

    $carriername = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['carriername']);
    $fromzip = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fromzip']);
    $tozip = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['tozip']);
    $typeofequipment = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['typeofequipment']);
    $weight = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['weight']);
    $length = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['length']);
    $paymentamount = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['paymentamount']);
    $contactperson = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['contactperson']);
    $loadtype = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['loadtype']);

    $insert = "INSERT INTO table1 (`carriername` ,`fromzip` ,`tozip` ,`typeofequipment` ,`weight` ,`length` ,`paymentamount` ,`contactperson` ,`loadtype`) VALUES('$carriername' ,'$fromzip' ,'$tozip' ,'$typeofequipment' ,'$weight' ,'$length' ,'$paymentamount' ,'$contactperson' ,'$loadtype');";
    mysql_query($insert) or die(mysql_error());

    $select = "SELECT `carriername` ,`fromzip` ,`tozip` ,`typeofequipment` ,`weight` ,`length` ,`paymentamount` ,`contactperson` ,`loadtype` FROM `table1` ORDER BY `paymentamount` DESC;";
    $result = mysql_query($select) or die(mysql_error());
}

    If you are updating your table anyway, you can do something as simple as using NOW(). An example of this would be:

    UPDATE table1 SET date=NOW()

    Make sure your field date is type DATETIME if you go this route. You can also use TIMESTAMP to update the field whenever the entry is edited. To create this, just create a column and set the data type to TIMESTAMP:

    CREATE TABLE test (
    last_edited TIMESTAMP 0 ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

    This will create a table (test) and one column (last_edited) and set the default value to 0. Whenever this record is edited in any fashion, the column last_edited will be updated with the time and date.
