Re: Set the timestamp to current server time manually...
I use the following code:
$this->User->saveField('lastlogin', date('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
"lastlogin" is a field in my users table, so adjust your name/table
accordingly.
Also, if your server is not in the same timezone as you are, but you'd
like it to be, you'll probably want to add the following snippet to
your app/config/bootstrap.php file:
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
You can find your timezone from the PHP site.

(<-- english version, I couldn't find the language agnostic short link
to the page)

Re: Set the timestamp to current server time manually...
If you're using Postgres or MySQL, at least, the format should be:
-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
So, you can use PHP's date function:
$this->data['Visit']['date'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
I'm not so sure that 'date' is a good name for a DB column, though.

Set the timestamp to current server time manually...
Hi, I realize this question may be fairly easy to answer, but I just haven't managed to get a clear understanding of how to do it through the documentation or google search. I settled by using the database convention of naming my date field to 'created' as a datetime field in the database and in the model. This way, when I save it stores the current timestamp. However I'd like to know if there's a way I can manually set the timestamp using the Time helper or another time/date function in cakephp. Couldn't find anything similar online, I'd appreciate any comments. The idea is to do something like this in the controller: $this->data[Visit].['date'] = timestamp()* (I realize this could take any shape or form, please suggest the simplest most cakephp framework centric alternative).
