Answer 2

It depends on what datatype you set for your db table.

DATETIME (datatype)

MYSQL

INSERT INTO t1 (dateposted) VALUES ( NOW() )
// This will insert date and time into the col. Do not use quote around the val

PHP

$dt = date('Y-m-d h:i:s');
INSERT INTO t1 (dateposted) VALUES ( '$dt' )
// This will insert date into the col using php var. Wrap with quote.

DATE (datatype)

MYSQL

INSERT INTO t1 (dateposted) VALUES ( NOW() )
// Yes, you use the same NOW() without the quotes.
// Because your datatype is set to DATE it will insert only the date

PHP

$dt = date('Y-m-d');
INSERT INTO t1 (dateposted) VALUES ( '$dt' )
// This will insert date into the col using php var.

TIME (datatype)

MYSQL

INSERT INTO t1 (dateposted) VALUES ( NOW() )
// Yes, you use the same NOW() as well. 
// Because your datatype is set to TIME it will insert only the time

PHP

$dt = date('h:i:s');
INSERT INTO t1 (dateposted) VALUES ( '$dt' )
// This will insert time.

Answer 3

"datetime" expects the date to be formated like this: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

so format your date like that when you are inserting.

Answer 4

If you Pass date from PHP you can use any format using STR_TO_DATE() mysql function . Let conseder you are inserting date via html form

$Tdate = "'".$_POST["Tdate"]."'" ;    //   10/04/2016
$Tdate = "STR_TO_DATE(".$Tdate.", '%d/%m/%Y')"  ;  
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` (`dateposted`) VALUES ('$Tdate')");

The dateposted should be mysql date type . or mysql will adds 00:00:00
in some case You better insert date and time together into DB so you can do calculation with hours and seconds . () .

$Tdate=date('Y/m/d H:i:s') ; // this to get current date as text .
$Tdate = "STR_TO_DATE(".$Tdate.", '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i:%s')"  ;  

Answer 5

NOW() is used to insert the current date and time in the MySQL table. All fields with datatypes DATETIME, DATE, TIME & TIMESTAMP work good with this function.

YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:SS

Demonstration:

Following code shows the usage of NOW()

INSERT INTO auto_ins
(MySQL_Function, DateTime, Date, Time, Year, TimeStamp)
VALUES
(“NOW()”, NOW(), NOW(), NOW(), NOW(), NOW());

Answer 6

you can use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, mysql function
