If you're using MySQL 3.23 (or newer) and the field is one of the date,
time or datetime types, use NOW()
For example:
$query = "Insert INTO visits (visName, date)
values ('$name', NOW()) " ;
This returns a "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" string that MySQL will
automatically convert to any of the date/time field types.
