Pardon me for not having too much insight into either PHP or ITFlow, but shouldnt there be an ALTER TABLE statement somewhere? And changes to database initializaiton?

@NickyM I thought the same, but it turns out we actually already allow NULL for the domain expiry field!

itflow/db.sql

Line 504 in 31184f0

`domain_expire` date DEFAULT NULL,

I think the issue was the code previously was trying to add it as a variable which was then enclosed in quotes in the SQL statement, so it was treated as a string rather than an actual null.

Just realised that the error message that I got yesterday, surelay states 'NULL' and not NULL for the error. :)

[Thu Feb 22 08:47:47.736482 2024] [php:error] [pid 2047] [client 172.29.0.1:48080] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Incorrect date value: 'NULL' for column itflow.domains.domain_expire at row 1 in /var/www/html/post/domain.php:40\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/post/domain.php(40): mysqli_query()\n#1 /var/www/html/post.php(38): require_once('...')\n#2 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/html/post/domain.php on line 40, referer: [removed]

The domain adding/editing works fine for me then.

@wrongecho @NickyM Things are working fine for me too. I feel confident to reel in.

It's truly amazing how tiny, insignificant errors can make or break big features haha! Thanks again for your help on this - has been a thorn in my side since it was first added! :)
