When I submit a new blog entry using a php form I can view all the entires on the index page apart from the timestamp!?!?

When I view the new entry in the php\_blog table the timestamp is 00000000000 👁

I do have an update form that lets me edit an entries date successfully. This is a pain however because I want the timestamp to be entered into the database with the new entry.

This is the PHPSource for my new blog entry form:

This is the PHPS that lets me edit/update an entries date:  
[http://www.webdesignhull.lincoln.ac.uk/jecgardner/blog\_test2/entry/update.phps](http://www.webdesignhull.lincoln.ac.uk/jecgardner/blog_test2/entry/update.phps)

What I need to do is use some of the update code and apply it to the upload code… I am having trouble doing this. I have tried various code combinations but I havent been successful.

Please can someone tell me what is wrong with the upload form and how to fix it!
