I need a small example on sending date to mysql db from a php form. Tried lots of examples but I seems I am missing o step. I have prepared a form for 3 fields, name last name and birth date. When I fill the form and submit date filed gets crazy :) 0000-00-00 00:00:00
I tried to format the date but this time I could not understand how to pass it to mysql. Here is my funny code;
<?php include "header.php" ?>
<?php include "conn.php" ?>
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#bdate" ).datepicker();
});
</script>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$PlayerName = $_POST['PlayerName'];
$PlayerLname = $_POST['PlayerLname'];
$PlayerBdate = $_POST['PlayerBdate'];
$query = "INSERT INTO tblPlayer (
PlayerName, PlayerLname, PlayerBdate
) VALUES (
'{$PlayerName}', '{$PlayerLname}', '{$PlayerBdate}'
)";
if(mysql_query($query,$connection)){
//Sucess
header("Location: players_list.php");
} else{
echo "<p>something is wrong</p>";
echo "<p>" . mysql_error() . "</p>";
}
}
?>
<form action="add_player.php" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name: </td>
<td><input type="text" name="PlayerName" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lastname:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="PlayerLastName" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Birthdate:</td>
<td><input id="bdate" type="text" name="PlayerBdate" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save" /></td>
<td align="right"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php ob_end_flush() ?>
<?php include ("footer.php") ?>
header.php contains
<?php ob_start(); ?>

and conn.php is the standard connection sting file.Footer.php is just closing the connection:) Also I could not make my code work without the ob_start(); and end functions:S
So can you point out how can I get the date as day/month/year format and save it to mysql that way?
