what are the problems you are having?
is it
1, the date does not write at all to the database.

or

2, it writes junk to the database?

Member Avatar for lsabinano

it does not write at all in the database...

Member Avatar for noelthefish

you seem to be trying to set the date value for the field 'date_acquired'

if so then you have to set the value as

date_acquired=$_POST['datepickerID'];

also on line 21

get rid of

value="<?php etc...">

just use

value=""

as jquery will set that value.

 if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
 { 
 // get form data, making sure it is valid
 $datepickerID = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['datepickerID']);
 }

This part of the code will return

$datepickerID = "10/10/10" etc or it will return false.

Therefore your next line of code will not work unless the variable is blank.

Member Avatar for lsabinano

Member Avatar for lsabinano

The code above will show you what is output into the variable $datepickerID.
After that I have shown you how you can explode this variable to access each part of the date. You can then repack this into any format you want and write it to the database.

OR

I would change the field type to INT from DATE.
I would then use this code.

mysql_query("INSERT INTO tablename (date_aquired) VALUES (gregoriantojd($month,$day,$year))");

this will write an INT value into the database and it is alot easier to search and manipulate an INT value rather than a date value.

Member Avatar for cereal

If the date_aquired field is already datetime you can also use strtotime():

$date = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['datepickerID']);
$datepickerID = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($date));

bye!
