I am a total newb

First I have this code:

$post_renew = trim(htmlspecialchars($_POST['renew']));

if ($post_renew && $_POST['ad'])
{

	$renew_days = ($admin_renew_days*86400);

	$expiry = time()+$renew_days;

	$expiry_dt = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $expiry);
	
	
	if ($admin_renew_cre_dt == 1)
	{
		$create_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time());
		$update_create_dt = ", createdon = '$create_date'";
	}


	$adlist = implode(" OR adid = ", $_POST['ad']);
	if ($adlist)
	{
		$adlist = "adid = " . $adlist;
		$sql = "UPDATE $table SET expireson = '$expiry_dt' $update_create_dt WHERE $adlist";
		//echo $sql; // testing
		if(mysql_query($sql)) $msg = mysql_affected_rows() . " ad(s) have been renewed";
		else $err = "Error renewing ads";
	}
}

But i have a variable called $fullcode

If a user enters a $fullcode that is already in the database, I want the "createdon" variable to be updated with the submit button
