What is the correct format to pass to the date() function in PHP if I want to insert the result into a MySQL datetime type column?
I’ve been trying date('Y-M-D G:i:s') but that just inserts "0000-00-00 00:00:00" everytime.
The problem is that you’re using
'M'and'D', which are a textual representations, MySQL is expecting a numeric representation of the format2010-02-06 19:30:13Try:
date('Y-m-d H:i:s')which uses the numeric equivalents.edit: switched
GtoH, though it may not have impact, you probably want to use 24-hour format with leading 0s.
