Automate Date generation in yii2

1 min read

To automate the generation of the creation date in your model, follow these steps:
Go to the controller that contains the
create
function.Add the following line of code to set the
company_created_date
attribute with the current date and time:
$model->company_created_date = date('Y-m-d h:i:s');
- The entire code for the
create
function should look like this:
if ($model->load($this->request->post())) {
$model->company_created_date = date('Y-m-d h:i:s');
$model->save();
return $this->redirect(['view', 'company_id' => $model->company_id]);
}
This code will automatically set the company_created_date
to the current date and time whenever a new record is created.
