    I'm using phpmyadmin.

    I have an 'expires' field in one of my tables. So I'd like to set the default to be something like current date + 4 months, or thereabouts. Is there a way to do it in phpmyadmin?

    Thanks.

    unfortunatly as far as i know you can't set the default value in mysql to be function so you would have to do this in your php script when add the row

    I don't think it can be done by default alright, but you can make it pretty easy by doing it in your SQL statement when adding a row:
    INSERT INTO table (some_field, expires) VALUES ('some_field_value', DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 4 MONTH))
