How to store timestamp in a column


I'm using PHP and found it unreliable when using the time() function passed
to a variable and then inserted in to the database - I can't understand why,
but I think the best solution would be for me to use the timestamp function
in MySQL.

How do I do this though? What is the syntax if I have a table called mytbl
and a column name called t with type timestamp...

Can someone help?

Thanks,
Randell D.
