Question

I try to update de last_login_time in my user table, but the time() is always 5h higher than the updatedTime behavior with the function

public function behaviors()
{
    return array(
        'timestamps' => array(
            'class' => 'zii.behaviors.CTimestampBehavior',
            'createAttribute' => 'create_time',
            'updateAttribute' => 'update_time',
            'setUpdateOnCreate' => true,
        )
    );
}

My function to update the last_login_time is very simple:

private function userLogedin()
{
    $user = User::model()->findByPk($this->auth->user_id);
    $user->last_login_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',time());
    return $user->save();
}

How can i have the same time than the behaviors one? Is there a way more kindly to create this kind of update?

Thank you very much! I’m a newb with Yii, it’s my first app, so be kind please ^^

Answer 1

CTimestampBehavior sets the time based on the database server’s local time, as reported by NOW(). Your code sets the time based on the web server’s local time, as reported by time().

The timezone difference between the two servers should account for the 5 hour discrepancy.

If you want to achieve the same effect as CTimestampBehavior with similar syntax as your own code, you will have to use CDbExpression:

$user = User::model()->findByPk($this->auth->user_id);
$user->last_login_time = new CDbExpression('NOW()');
return $user->save();

There’s also an example of the same here.
