Sending NULL data to date field instead of string

Hi there, I have been trying to resolve this issue for weeks now and finally admitted defeat!

When I insert or update a php form several fields can either be null or contain a date but my code is always reporting it as invalid date when inserting or updating.

The fields below ‘signedupdate’ & ‘DOB’ cpuld be NULL or a datevalue, the mysql table is set as Date | Default: NULL | Allow Null

$dateValue1 = is_null($rowData[’ signedupdate ‘]) ? ‘NULL’ : sprintf("’%s’", $rowData[’ signedupdate’]);
$dateValue2 = is_null($rowData[’ DOB ‘]) ? ‘NULL’ : sprintf("’%s’", $rowData[’ DOB’]);

$sql = sprintf(“UPDATE tbl_lead SET DOB = ‘%s’ , signedupdate = ‘%s’ WHERE client_id = %d;”, $rowData[’$dateValue2’], $rowData[’$dateValue1’]);
$this->GetConnection()->ExecSQL($sql);

Has anyone any ideas what I can use to allow the form to send null data?

Not sure if you copied and pasted the code in, but there are spaces for all of them

$rowData[’-signedupdate’]
$rowData[’-DOB-’]
$rowData[’-DOB’]

You might want to check if the field is null, whitespace, or even set first.
