Question

I am using this to store DATETIME in mysql

validation.php

//more code
$date = new DateTime("2012-01-01 23:59:59", new DateTimeZone('Europe/Paris'));
$dt = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

//and I am posting into my DATETIME field:

Insert...Value($dt)

1.. I get no errors but the date/time posted is 0000-00-00 00-00-00

What am I doing wrong?

2.. Is there a way to store date formatted as DD-MM-YYYY?

Answer 1

Did it… Correct syntax is:

$date = new DateTime(null, new DateTimeZone('Europe/Paris')); 
$dt = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP');
