You can get around it by using a timestamp data type. in you insert query, don't worry about setting the timestamp to a value and mysql will set it to the time and date as the time that the record was inserted. The other way is to alter your insert queries to insert into table set .... date_field=now() George Patterson -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
