I have got a script under this link Order list/ while loop php issue which retrieves an order row of data from the following fields:
order_id | users_id | total | order_date(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) | shipped
I have since added a radio button in which the admin user can click to show if this item has been shipped. (It adds a ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ to the shipped field through a submit button) The SQL query is below:
UPDATE orders SET shipped='$shipped' WHERE order_id='$id'
The script works fine but it replaces the time that the order was originally made (under ‘order_date’) with the time that the shipping button has been submitted and I want to leave the original time intact.
Can I change the SQL query or do I have to use php to this? Please let me know if you need to see the full php code.

@gview is right that you should alter your table and make it DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. If you cannot alter the table, you can change your update query to set order_date = order_date, which will prevent it from being updated:
