I use
date_default_timezone_set($_SESSION['time_zone']);
to set a users timezone on a page, I am wanting to know, how do I save current time to mysql in php with the current UTC date and time? Also should I be storing it as a timestamp?
My existing site used datetime fields and when I saved a new item to mysql I could just use now() in the php part making the insert or update query
gmdate('U');outputs the GMT/UTC timestamp of the specified timestamp based on the current timezone.See more information on the PHP Manual page
