With columns integer or timestamp if values is ” will been error when insert or update. Ex:

 $atmosphericpressure ='';
 $humidity ='';
 $order_datetime='';
 $outbreak_datetime='';
 $locationarrival_datetime ='';

Update A set atmosphericpressure ='$atmosphericpressure',humidity =  '$humidity',order_datetime='$order_datetime',outbreak_datetime='$outbreak_datetime',...

How set value of a variable is DBNull?

Answer 1

You could write a function to convert a string into a database expression:

function toDB($string) {
  if ($string == '') {
    return 'null';
  } else {
    return "'$string'";
  }
}

and use it to create your query:

$sql = "Update A set atmosphericpressure = {toDB($atmosphericpressure)},humidity =   {toDB($humidity)},order_datetime= {toDB($order_datetime)},...";

Depending on the size of your project it would be better to abstract database access away by using an object relational mapper, some suggestions can be found in this question.
