Via PHP: $dateTime = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); mysql_query("INSERT INTO table SET dateTime = '$dateTime'"); Via MySQL: mysql_query("INSERT INTO table SET dateTime = NOW()"); Take a look here for other useful MySQL date and time functions: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Date_and_time_functions.html Hope it helps.
