Question

I am trying to retrieve the date of birth from users once they submit the form and update the date type, but I am unable to update the date type. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

if($_POST){
    $dob = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($_POST['year']."-". $_POST['month']."-".$_POST['day'])); 

    $retur = $userObj->updateProfile($dob);
}

 public function updateProfile($dob){
$db = db_mysql::getInstance();
$qr = $db->query("UPDATE ".USERS." SET dob = $dob WHERE id = '".$udata."'") or die(mysql_error()); 

        return $udata;
}

Answer 1

Try this:

$qr = $db->query("UPDATE ".USERS." SET dob = '$dob' WHERE id = '".$udata."'") or die(mysql_error());

You should look at using bound parameters, though – it avoids this sort of thing, as well as making your code a lot more secure.

Editted to add:

The manual page on binding parameters has a few very useful examples.
