Fatal error: Call to undefined function UNIX_TIMESTAMP() in / - php

Question

I am trying to change my database from MySQL to PDO. It is difficult and have to solve a lot of errors.
I don't know how to solve this error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function UNIX_TIMESTAMP() in /... on line 63.
This is the part with the error
function create_album($album_name, $album_description) {
global $database;
$database->query("INSERT INTO albums(album_id, id, timestamp, name, description)
VALUES (':album_id', '".$_SESSION['id']."',
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), ':album_name', ':album_description')", array('$_SESSION[id]' => ':session_id',
':timestamp' => UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), ':album_name' => $album_name, ':album_description' => $album_description));//this is line 63
mkdir('uploads/'.$album_name, 0744);
mkdir('uploads/thumbs/'.$album_name, 0744);
}
Why is there a fatal error, do I use unix_timestamp wrong here? And how can I solve this problem?
Thanks.

Answer 1

UNIX_TIMESTAMP() isn't a PHP function. Furthermore, you've already got it in your SQL and there's no :timestamp parameter in the SQL string. So just lose the ':timestamp' => UNIX_TIMESTAMP() and you should be good.
Also, your session_id part is messed up. First you're dumping the session id directly into the SQL string, and then you're adding it to the parameter array, but with the value and key reversed.

Answer 2

UNIX_TIMESTAMP is a MySQL function, not a PHP one. You don't need to bind a param to UNIX_TIMESTAMP, you can just use it in your query.
Get rid of the ':timestamp' => UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), this is your issue. First UNIX_TIMESTAMP is not a PHP function, and :timestamp is nowhere in your query.
Also, ':session_id' should be the key.
UPDATE: You need to use prepare/execute instead of query to run prepared statements.
$stmt = $database->prepare("INSERT INTO albums(id, timestamp, name, description) VALUES (':session_id', UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), ':album_name', ':album_description')");
$stmt->execute(array(
':session_id' => $_SESSION[id],
':album_name' => $album_name,
':album_description' => $album_description
));
I'm assuming album_id is AUTO_INCREMENT. If not, you should add it to the query.

Answer 3

UNIX_TIMESTAMP() is not a PHP function, is from MYSQL. Instead use time()

Rocket Hazmat,
the database comes from member.php;
require_once('config.inc.php');
require_once("database.class.php");
require_once("member.class.php");
require("album.func.php");
require("image.func.php");
require("thumb.func.php");
/* Start an instance of the Database Class */
$database = new database("xxx", "xxx", "xxx", "xxx");
/* Create an instance of the Member Class */
$member = new member();
the database.class.php is;
class database {
public $pdo = null;
public $statement = null;
* Database Constructor
*
* This method is used to create a new database object with a connection to a datbase
*/
public function __construct() {
/* Try the connections */
try {
/* Create a connections with the supplied values */
$this->pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=" . Config::read('hostname') . ";dbname=" . Config::read('database') . "", Config::read('username'), Config::read('password'), Config::read('drivers'));
/*

* This method is used to create a new database prepared query
*
* #param string $query The prepared statement query to the database

*/
public function query($query, $bind = null, $fetch = 'FETCH_ASSOC') {
/* Prepare the query statement */
$this->statement = $this->pdo->prepare($query);
/* Bind each value supplied from $bind */

if(is_int($value)) {

$this->statement->bindValue($select, $value, $param);
}
}
}
/* Execute Query & check for any errors */
if(!$this->statement->execute()){
$result = array(
1 => 'false',
2 => '<b>[DATABASE] Error - Query:</b> There was an error in sql syntax',

return $result;
}
/* Return all content */
