I've created a form that submits data to a MySQL database but the Date, Time, Year and Month fields constantly revert to the exact same date (1st January 1970) despite the fact that when I submit the information to the database the form displays the current date, time etc to me. I've already set it so that the time and date fields automatically display the current time and date. Could someone please help me with this.
Form:
<html>
<head>
<title>Blog | New Post</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/newposts.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="new-form">
<div class="header">
<a href="
edit.php"><img src="images/edit-home-button.png"></a>
</div>
<div class="form-bg">
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$month = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['month']));
$date = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['date']));
$year = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['year']));
$time = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['time']));
$title = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['title']));
$entry = $_POST['entry'];
$timestamp = strtotime($month . " " . $date . " " . $year . " " . $time);
$entry = nl2br($entry);
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$title = addslashes($title);
$entry = addslashes($entry);
}
mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root', 'root') ;
mysql_select_db ('tmlblog');
$sql = "INSERT INTO php_blog (timestamp,title,entry) VALUES ('$timestamp','$title','$entry')";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or print("Can't insert into table php_blog.<br />" . $sql . "<br />" . mysql_error());
if ($result != false) {
print "<p class=\"success\">Your entry has successfully been entered into the blog. </p>";
}
mysql_close();
}
?>
<?php
$current_month = date("F");
$current_date = date("d");
$current_year = date("Y");
$current_time = date("H:i");
