Question

I am attempting to update my date_process field using php. The mysql field is a date type field and my code is:

$today = date('Y-m-d');
$data =json_decode($_POST['data'], true); 

foreach($data as $value){ 
// update inventory table
$conn->query("update inventory set cost = {$data[$n]['cost']}, 
csmt = {$data[$n]['csmt']}, 
hold = {$data[$n]['hold']},
date_process = $today 
where sku = {$data[$n]['sku']}");

All of the other fields are updating properly, just the date_process is returning 000-00-00. I have looked at other posts, and from what I can tell I am formatting this correctly( or at least I think I am). Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong??

Answer 1

try adding quotes around the date:

$conn->query("update inventory set cost = {$data[$n]['cost']}, 
              csmt = {$data[$n]['csmt']}, 
              hold = {$data[$n]['hold']},
              date_process = '$today'
              where sku = {$data[$n]['sku']}");
