Question

I have this MySQL query:

$SQLquery = "INSERT INTO `experimental`.`comments` (`comment_id`, `comment_dt`) 
             VALUES (NULL, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);";

When I execute this line with PHP into the MySQL Database at comment_dt row appears my computer local time and date. Does anybody know how to set to appear in my database a server local and time date?

Answer 1

The best way will be that you should make your comment_dt column DATETIME type and set default value CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. No need to manually insert it through insert query.

Using this each time your comment_dt will be automatically updated with server date-time whenever a new row inserted.

ALTER TABLE comments ADD comment_dt TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
