This question already has an answer here:
How do I create this using PHP, for the current timestamp, ready to insert into a mysql database timestamp field:
2015-06-27 12:58:10
I want to insert a created_timestamp field basically...
I don't want to use the database's "on update current timestamp" feature because I want this to be a permanent fixed record.
</div>
Use PHP's date() function
date("Y-m-d H:i:s")
