    <p>I have a site, where people are supposed to be able to arrange meetings with users within the system. However I'm having some difficulties getting the start and endtime from my form to appear in my mysql database, where I'm using the timestamp format for saving the values. Could somebody help me figuring out where I'm going wrong?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $page_title = "Create event"; //Check if the form has been submitted if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) { $errors = array(); //Initialize an error array // Check for event name if (empty($_POST['event_name'])) { $errors[] = 'You have not given your event a name.'; } else { $en = trim($_POST['event_name']); } // Check for event location if (empty($_POST['location'])) { $errors[] = 'You have not determined where the meeting is taking place.'; } else { $l = trim($_POST['location']); } if (empty($_POST['starttime'])) { $errors[] = 'You have not determined when the meeting is starting.'; } else { $s = trim($_POST['starttime']); } if (empty($_POST['endtime'])) { $errors[] = 'You have not determined when the meeting is ending.'; } else { $e = trim($_POST['endtime']); } if (empty($errors)) { // If everything is ok // Create the event in the database // require_once ('../mysqli_connect.php'); // DB connect // Make the query $host="mysql.itu.dk"; $username="tklo"; $password="Cave57Waits49"; $db_name="project_cluster"; $tbl_name="events"; mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password") or die ("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die ("cannot select database"); $sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (event_name, location, starttime, endtime)VALUES('$en', '$l', '$s', '$e')"; $result=mysql_query($sql); if($result){ echo "Succesfull"; echo "&lt;BR&gt;"; echo "&lt;a href='newevent.php'&gt;Back to main page&lt;/a&gt;"; } else { echo "ERROR"; } mysql_close(); } else { echo '&lt;h2&gt;Error!&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p class="error"&gt;The following error(s) occured:&lt;br /&gt;'; foreach ($errors as $msg) { // Print each error echo " - $msg&lt;br /&gt;\n"; } } } ?&gt; &lt;form action="newevent.php" method="post"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Name your event: &lt;input type="text" name="event_name" value="&lt;?php if(isset($_POST['event_name'])) echo $_POST['event_name']; ?&gt;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Where is your meeting taking place: &lt;input type="text" name="location" value="&lt;?php if(isset($_POST['location'])) echo $_POST['location']; ?&gt;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Beginning of the event &lt;input type="text" name="starttime" value="&lt;?php if(isset($_POST['starttime'])) echo $_POST['starttime']; ?&gt;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;End of the event &lt;input type="text" name="endtime" value="&lt;?php if(isset($_POST['endtime'])) echo $_POST['endtime']; ?&gt;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="GO" /&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
