Date string encoding, Config Issue? - El Forum - 04-08-2010

[eluser]novice32[/eluser]
Hello,

This works in localhost (XAMPP / Windows) but not in production (CentOS Linux).

In the application GUI I enter "04/09/2010" which is sent via POST as string "ItemFoundDate=04/09/2010". However, in the controller the below assignment throws an 500 error.

Code:
$ItemFoundDate =  date("Y-m-d", strtotime($this->input->post('ItemFoundDate')));

I was pre-formatting for a MySQL insert. Anyhow, just to ensure "strtotime" has nothing to do with the issue, I tried the below this still causes an error.

Code:
$ItemFoundDate =  $this->input->post('ItemFoundDate');

Could this be a config setting?

Please advise.

I'm really baffled by this one because I have another controller method ( the "Add" record version), which has the same line of code and works fine...

Code:
$ItemFoundDate =  date("Y-m-d", strtotime($this->input->post('ItemFoundDate')));

Don't worry.. please IGNORE thread.. I found the issue. I needed to enable write access to my logs directory
