Post by shinstar »

Hy every one i have this two file code one is index.php and second is insert.php

here is index.php code ,

Code: Select all

<html>
<body>

<form action="insert.php" method="post">
Time <input type="text" name="time" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

<?php
$ctime = date('h:i:s A');
echo "Current time is : " . $ctime ;
echo "<br>";

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("time", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM time");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo $row['time'];
  echo "<br />";
  }

mysql_close($con);
?> 


</body>
</html> 


here is insert.php code ,

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("time", $con);

$sql="INSERT INTO time (time )
VALUES
('$_POST[time]')";

if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
echo "1 record added";
echo "<br>";
echo "<a href='index.php'>Home</a>";

Look at the MySQL DATE_FORMAT() function to format the date coming from the database.
