I am using version 2.8.0.1 as supplied by ixWebHosting and am having trouble adding a TIMESTAMP field which I require to update each time a record is added or updated. If I add a record via phpMyAdmin interface everything is OK, but when I try to use a php file, nothing is added to the database until I delete the TIMESTAMP field. IXwebhosting have suggested I pay $80 per hour to them as it is a coding error, but I'm not convinced. I am, however, a novice user! My date field is as follows: Field: Date Type: timestamp Collation: Attributes: ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP Null: No Default: Extra: My php file does not attempt to populate the Date field -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Basic-TIMESTAMP-Question-tf4474465.html#a12757414 Sent from the phpmyadmin-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
