You haven't mentioned the actual error but it seems that problem occurs from here.
You are attempting to insert $time into what appears to be a DATETIME column, based on your old mysql version, but it is improperly formatted.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
