I have written this sequence hundreds of times (You're the man now dog, Hamlet in space?) Seeing as MySQL and PHP are so commonly tied together I think this could be a very useful shortcut to add. http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=Y-m-d+H%3Ai%3As over 5.000 related issues https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Y-m-d+H%3Ai%3As%22 over 1.7 million results Easier and quicker to memorize.
