Hi Yves,
Thanks for the tip, that worked, I think I'll use that from now on..
Just out of curiosity though, any idea why it wasn't working as I
was writing it :)
Did you try putting the query that PHP is generating in phpMyAdmin or
MySQL Query Browser? See if it throws an error when attempting to
update. It *appears* that the query should work.

PS... Was it you, Jason, or someone else who asked about the security
of the community knowing their database structure and I encouraged the
use of `backticks` around all field and table names?

Hi Jason,
It's not because you create a date/time value that you
automatically have an
integer-value. You need to specify first that you want the date/
time value
converted to an integer value first.
See
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_unix-timestamp
for an example of how to do this.
Actually, by using this function, you probably don't even need to
create the
$modifiedTimestamp variable anymore. You can just write your SQL
query as
follows:
$sql = "Update `mytable` set timestamp=UNIX_TIMESTAMP() where
Record='1'";
HTH,
Yves

Okay... So I know this should be simple...
Trying to store a timestamp in a MySQL database... The timestamp I
am making like so: $modifiedTimestamp = time();
and then just $sql = "Update `mytable` set
timestamp='$modifiedTimestamp' where Record='1'";
Simple right? Not quite...in my database it's storing a "0" in the
timestamp field which is a int(10) field.
I have googled, and searched manuals, but have not been able to
figure out what is going on....
Any Ideas?
timestamp is a reserved word. Try putting it in backticks.
Okay, so I did a really crappy job at my sudo code... The field name
is actually Last_Updated.
so my update code looks like this: Last_Updated='$modifiedTimestamp'
*Slaps his wrist... Bad copy/paste! BAD!!!
