I'm guessing that the field you are trying to save the value in is a datetime field it's not but the same seems to be true for timestamps. If so mysql expects the format to be Year-month-day Hour:minute:second. In order to save the timestamp you will have to convert the field to numeric using a query like

alter table  change   bigint unsigned

If you are using the current time you can use now() or current_timestamp.
