Question

How can i save today’s day to a database with php?

I’m trying with:

    $datenow=date('Y-m-d');

 $stmt = $this->db->prepare("INSERT INTO user (age,wname,slid,time,sex) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
        $stmt->bind_param("isdds", $year, $reasons,$appy_level,$datenow,$sex);

this isn’t working it writes 0000-00-00 to the database.

Answer 1

Depending on your database setup, remove the PHP date and use the mysql built in NOW() method. This will require your time field to have a data type of one of DATETIME or similiar.

eg:

$stmt = $this->db->prepare("INSERT INTO user (age,wname,slid,time,sex) VALUES (?, ?, ?, NOW(), ?)");
$stmt->bind_param("isdds", $year, $reasons, $appy_level, $sex);
