Does $date have a value at this point?  What is it?

This looks to me suspiciously like Sybase is seeing either an empty/zero
value or one that it's not able to parse as a date and time.  Are you
*sure* that the column type you're using is supposed to automagically
insert a current timestamp?  If so, you might double-check your
documentation to see under what circumstances it will do so...it might
only do it, for example, if you insert a NULL value (which is not the
same as an empty string).  If not, you could try using the now()
function in your insert query instead of specifying a '$date' value.
