Hi All
I have date field, I am storing it as "int" in table.
When I checked the table in database, the value shows as 1.
My code is as below.
'INSERT INTO {rs_table} ( uid, name, qualification, email, altemail, phone, altphone, dob, yrsofexp, prefworkloc) '
."VALUES (%d, '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%d', '%d', '%s')",
$user->uid,
$form_state['values']['persname'],
$form_state['values']['hqualif'],
$form_state['values']['email'],
$form_state['values']['altemail'],
$form_state['values']['phone'],
$form_state['values']['altphone'],
$form_state['values']['birthdate'],
$form_state['values']['yearsexp'],
$form_state['values']['prefloc']
);
Whats the wrong here, is there any API I have to make use of to convert from date to int value??
Regards
Austin

I have a date field in my form.
How do I store/retreive the value into/from MySQL.
On google search, I saw people are suggesting to use either "int" or "datetime" type.
Please suggest which one needs to be used.
If I use int (I hope core uses int), while storing can I just store "form['values']['date1']" as %d and while retreivin, what are the related apis to convert back to date.
