Question

I’m tryin to insert dates using the date function while inserting posts.

When the form is submitted I get the following message:

Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

The SQL rows are in the correct order, the date row is the last one.

Here’s the function calling content:

function add_content($p){
    $title = mysql_real_escape_string($p['title']);
    $body = mysql_real_escape_string($p['body']);
    $p['time'] = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
    $time = $p['time'];

The rest of the code:

    <?php

class blog {
    private $host;
    private $username;
    private $password;
    private $db;
    private $link;

    public function __construct($host, $username, $password, $db){
        $this->db = $db;
        $this->link = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password, $db);
        mysql_select_db($this->db, $this->link) or die (mysql_error());
    }


    function get_content($id=''){
    if($id !=NULL):
        $id = mysql_real_escape_string($id);
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM content WHERE id = '$id'";
        $return = '<p><a href="index.php">Vover al Indice</a></p>';
    else:
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM content ORDER by id DESC";
    endif;

    $result = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());

    if(mysql_num_rows($result) !=NULL):
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
        echo '<h1><a href="index.php?id='.$row['id'].'">'.$row['title'].'</a></h1>';
        echo '<span class="time">'.$row['time'].'</span>';
        echo '<p>'.$row['body'].'</p>';
        }
    else:
        echo '<p>Oops, post not found!</p>';
    endif;
    if(isset($return)){
        echo $return;
        }
    }

    function add_content($p){

        $body = mysql_real_escape_string($p['body']);
        $p['time'] = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
        $time = $p['time'];

        if(!$title OR !$body):
            if(!$title):
                echo "<p>You have to fill the title.</p>";
            endif;

            endif;
            echo '<p><a href="add-content.php">Try again!</a></p>';
            else:
                $sql = "INSERT INTO content VALUES (null, '$title', '$body')";
                $result = mysql_query($sql) OR DIE (mysql_error());
                echo "Added sucessfully!";
            endif;

    }

    function manage_content()
    {

Answer 1

it should have 4 column, but this insert only set 3 columns

INSERT INTO content VALUES (null, '$title', '$body')

you are missing time column

try

INSERT INTO content VALUES (null, '{$title}', '{$body}', '{$time}');

OR

INSERT INTO content SET title='{$title}', body='{$body}', time='{$time}';

second problem

$p['time'] = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
$time = $p['time']; // 25 characters long

this exceed your column definition of varchar(20), the last 5 characters will get truncated
