将当前页面，ID，日期插入到MySQL表中

Question

In my Joomla 2.5.14 I'm trying to insert the current page_id, user_id and date into a mySQL table (called xmb9d_hist).

This is the code I'm using:

<?php
/* Define $jinput */
$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;

/* Get the current page id */
$page= $jinput->get('id');

/* Get the current user id */
$user =JFactory::getUser();
$usr_id = $user->get('id');

/* Get the current date */
$date =JFactory::getDate();

/* Open a connection */

$link=mysqli_connect('localhost','peter','abc123');
    if(!$link){
    echo "Não há ligação!";
    exit();
    };

/* Insert current user id, page id and date in to table xmb9d_hist */
mysqli_query($link, "INSERT INTO `portalge_formacao`.`xmb9d_hist` (`user_id`, `page_id`, `date`) VALUES ($usr_id, $page, $date)");

/* Close connection */
mysqli_close($link);

?>

The first part of the code is working ok (retrieving the values for the 3 variables. However, the data isn't being inserted in the database and no error is produced.

In MySQL table, user_id and page_id are defined as INT(11) and date as date.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to stick to Joomla coding standards when using Joomla unless they have not provided a class for whatever you need. Have a read of the documentation before trying something just incase there is information about it.

Try using the following:

<?php

$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$date = JFactory::getDate();
$user = JFactory::getUser();

$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$page= $jinput->get('id');
$usr_id = $user->get('id');

$query = $db->getQuery(true);   
$columns = array('user_id', 'page_id', 'date');  
$values = array($usr_id, $page, $date);   
$query
    ->insert($db->quoteName('#__hist'))
    ->columns($db->quoteName($columns))
    ->values(implode(',', $values));

$db->setQuery($query);

?>

Hope this helps

I see a few issues with your insert query. First off, I believe that JFactory::getDate() returns an object, so to get something you can insert into the database you want to do a toFormat() on it. Try changing your line from:

$date =JFactory::getDate();

to this:

$date =JFactory::getDate()->toFormat();

And since the date isn't an integer, you need to escape the string in your insert, so update that line to this:

mysqli_query($link, "INSERT INTO `portalge_formacao`.`xmb9d_hist` (`user_id`, `page_id`, `date`) VALUES ($usr_id, $page, '$date')");

Answer 3

You should use the method toSql() , it's for SQL eg

$date = JFactory::getDate()->toSql();

hope this helps
