Hi Pambos, you can use the function date in this manner: date("YmdGis");
because the type TIMESTAMP has the following format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, where: YYYY=year like 2004 MM=month like 04 DD=day like 24 HH=hour like 10 MM=minutes like 24 SS=seconds like 33 in this case date("YmdGis"); has the output 20040424102433 that is the right format for TIMESTAMP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pambos Nicolaou" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2004 6:35 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] Inserting date into a table > I have created the table below: > > CREATE TABLE questions (ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,name VARCHAR(30),day > TIMESTAMP, question TEXT, email VARCHAR(30),answer TEXT, PRIMARY KEY(ID)); > > I want to insert into the TIMESTAMP field the date automatically.
