String datetime insert into mysql database with codeigniter
Use the correct MYSQL format for the date YYYY-MM-DD. For example change this in your code:
$data = array( 'Title' => $title, 'Description' => $description, 'When' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime($when)), 'Duration' => $duration, 'Where' => $where);
Dates in mySQL are YYYY-MM-DD
You are inserting a date MM/DD/YYYY
So try this:
$data = array( 'Title' => $title, 'Description' => $description, 'When' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime($when)), 'Duration' => $duration, 'Where' => $where);
Simplest way to store string date in any format in mysql
$srcFormat = "m/d/Y"; //convert string to php date$destFormat = "Y-m-d" //convert php date to mysql date string$data = array( 'Title' => $title, 'Description' => $description, 'When' => DateTime::createFromFormat($srcFormat, $when)->format($destFormat), 'Duration' => $duration, 'Where' => $where);
