Question

First off whenever this page loads I see “commented on December 31, 1969 at 5:00 PM” when there is no comment and when a comment is submitted I see “Column count doesn’t match value count at row 1”
My table for comments look like this

id int(11)
comment_date datetime
first_name varchar(50)
last_name varchar(50)
content varchar(500)
post_id int(11)

  <?php require_once('Connections/Main.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 
{
  if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
  }

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($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;

Answer 1

Your SQL fields do not match their inputs. You’re not entering the date in the proper field, change it to this:

INSERT INTO blog_comments (first_name, comment_date, last_name, content, post_id) VALUES (%s, now(), %s, %s, %s)
