Pledge start_date 0 when using the API
August 21, 2015, 08:39:57 am
Hey everyone!

I'm using the API to create a Pledge, and I'm getting always 0 on the start_date.

Here (https://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=4104.0) it says that the format should be The proper format is YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDhhmmss, but I can't get it to work. I'm using CiviCRM 4.5.4.

I've tried:
$start_date = date("Ymd",strtotime('now'))

$ts = time();
$date = new DateTime(date("YmdHis", $ts));


How should it be??
Thanks!

Coleman Watts

With few exceptions the api passes dates through strtotime, so you ought to be able to specify 'start_date' => 'now'
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.
