Question

I have this SQL statement below

INSERT into 2011_electricity ( date, energy, daynum) VALUES (STR_TO_DATE('$date','%d%m%y'),'$energy','$num'

Is it possible to increment the date by one day AS I insert it into the database?

Or could I increment it in PHP before inserting it?

The string format in PHP prior to the MySQL statement is as follows:

190711

Which is 19th July 2011.

thanks,

Greg

Answer 1

Use DATE_ADD() function. So your statement would became

...VALUES (DATE_ADD(STR_TO_DATE('$date','%d%m%y'), INTERVAL 1 DAY), ...
