Perhaps the problem is in your translation. NOW() records a timestamp that is formated by YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. If you are translating this in PHP a function designed to take in a UNIX timestamp (that is "Unix Epoch" time , the number of seconds from some date 30 years ago) you will recieve a rather confusing result. This may not be the problem but it was just a thought. -Kevin
