This is how I implemented a similar though not exactly the same problem:

$tempdate = gmdate("d-m-Y");

$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO gennews (newsdate, newsheadline, country, newsfull) VALUES ($tempdate, %s, %s, %s);

So, you only have to change the format of the gmdate what you want.

d-m-Y is not the MySQL format for a date, though, so that means you're saving the date in a VARCHAR or CHAR column. You lose the benifits of all the date and time functions built into MySQL when you do that.


Not a good method... either store the dates as Unix timestamps or MySQL timestamps.
