[snip] After more than 2 hours of looking, I am ready to admit defeat. I have a MySQL table with a datestamp field. I cannot find the correct PHP comand to insert the time of record creation. This does not work. What does? $result = mysql_query("insert into agent values ( '$dns', '$submit_to', 'date()')"); [/snip] $result = mysql_query("insert into agent values ( '$dns', '$submit_to', CURRENT_DATE())"); http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Date_and_time_functions.html
