I am so new in PHP / MySQL.
I did this tutorial online:
Members Area System in php mysql - members users system area log sign
So far everything works fine, except for the date.
The date (signup_date column) appear in a strange way inside the data base. How can i fix?
id: 1 username: myusername password: helloworld email: myusername avatar: myavatar signup_date: 1411562966
Thank you so much for your help
This is my mysql table code:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
password varchar(255) NOT NULL,
email varchar(255) NOT NULL,
avatar text NOT NULL,
signup_date timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
This is the sign_up.php page where I guess I must modify the date:
<?php
include('config.php');
