Good day!

I encountered error in saving data data in my database.

First, I have code for uploading/importing .xml file to database.

in my .xml file the date is : 10/1/2011 but when it was display in webpage the result is :
2011-01-10T00:00:00.000

and I used

$date = substr($date,0,-13);
to remove the last part.

and now I used this code:


$date = strtotime($date);
$date = date('d-m-Y', $date);

to change the format of date..the good thing is it was display as 01-10-2011 when I run that code. But it did not save in database.

Here is my whole code:


<?php
$data = array();


$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "root","");
if (!$con) {
die(mysql_error());
}
$db = mysql_select_db("db_upload", $con);
if (!$db) {
die(mysql_error());
}

$sql = "select * from employee";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $con);
if (!$result) {
die(mysql_error());
}
$total = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($total > 0) {
$sql = "delete from employee";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $con);
if (!$result) {
die(mysql_error());
}
}

function add_employee($emp, $employee, $last, $mi, $date, $time)
{
global $data;

$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "root","");
if (!$con){ die(mysql_error());}
$db = mysql_select_db("db_upload", $con);
if (!$db) {
die(mysql_error());
}

$emp = $emp;
$employee = $employee;
$last = $last;
$mi = $mi;

$date = substr($date,0,-13);
$time = substr($time,11,-4);
$date = strtotime($date);
$date = date('d-m-Y', $date);

$time = strftime('%I:%M %p', strtotime($time));



$sql = "INSERT INTO employee (EMP_NO, Name, last, mi, date, time) VALUES ('$emp', '$employee', '$last', '$mi', '$date', '$time')";
mysql_query($sql, $con);


$data []= array('EMP_NO' => $emp, 'Name' => $employee, 'last' => $last, 'mi' => $mi, 'date' => $date, 'time' => $time);

}

if ( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] )
{
$dom = DOMDocument::load( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] );

$rows = $dom->getElementsByTagName( 'Row' );
global $last_row;
$last_row = false;
$first_row = true;
foreach ($rows as $row)
{
if ( !$first_row )
{

$emp = "";
$employee = "";
$last = "";
$mi = "";
$date = "";
$time = "";


$index = 1;
$cells = $row->getElementsByTagName( 'Cell' );

foreach( $cells as $cell )
{
$ind = $cell->getAttribute( 'Index' );
if ( $ind != null ) $index = $ind;

if ( $index == 1 ) $emp = $cell->nodeValue;
if ( $index == 2 ) $employee = $cell->nodeValue;
if ( $index == 3 ) $last = $cell->nodeValue;
if ( $index == 4 ) $mi = $cell->nodeValue;
if ( $index == 5 ) $date = $cell->nodeValue;
if ( $index == 6 ) $time = $cell->nodeValue;
$index += 1;
}

if ($emp=='' and $employee=='' and $last=='' and $mi=='' and $date=='' and $time=='') {
$last_row = true;
}
else {

add_employee($emp, $employee, $last, $mi, $date, $time);
}
}
if ($last_row==true) {
$first_row = true;
}
else {
$first_row = false;
}

}
}
?>

<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Employee Attendance</th>
</tr>

<?php foreach( $data as $row ) { ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo( $row['EMP_NO'] ); ?></td>
<td><?php echo( $row['Name'] ); ?></td>
<td><?php echo( $row['last'] ); ?></td>
<td><?php echo( $row['mi'] ); ?></td>
<td><?php echo( $row['date'] ); ?></td>
<td><?php echo( $row['time'] ); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
</body>
</html>
