Not really a MySQL question - the answer happens to be MySQL, but the question asks how to do it in PHP

This might still be necessary if the OP is using something like DB_DataObject, as you can't really use NOW() in that situation

Try strftime [ http://uk.php.net/strftime - RTFM :) ] - a good format string would be "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" which will produce 0000-00-00 00:00:00
