PHP-MSSQL Date problem!

[SalokinX]

Hi everyone. I am trying to make a table that when people edit something from it, it will show the date it was edited.

This is my code:

[PHP]$date = date("m/d/Y");

mssql_query("IN SERT INTO news2 (title, dtime, text1, text2) VALUES ('$title', $date, '$text1', '$text2')");[/PHP]

The thing is that when I check the table, the time is messed up. It shows 4/11/1900 instead of 01/20/2008.

And if its possible, is there a way I could change the format of the date at the MSSQL? I need something like this:12:55 01/20/2008.

Btw, the data type of the column is datatime.

Thank you

The reason why it is showing up this way is because you are formating it for the month, day, year with date("m/d/Y"). In your insert statement you could just use 'now()' instead of '$date'.

how about:
[php]
<?php
echo date("h:m m/d/Y")
?>
[/php]

I tried the 'now()' and I get this error:

Warning: mssql_query() [function.mssql-query]: message: Syntax error converting datetime from character string. (severity 16) in C:\xampp\htdocs \news2.php on line 22

Warning: mssql_query() [function.mssql-query]: Query failed in C:\xampp\htdocs \news2.php on line 22

I think I know what it means, but I have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?

And does anyone know how I could change the date format on MSSQL? I wanted it to be like this: 12:45 30/12/2008

I fixed the problem... I used a pretty longer code, but it worked.
[PHP] $dia = gmdate(d);
$mes = gmdate(m);
$ano = gmdate(Y);
$minuto = gmdate(i);
$date = gmdate(H);
$brdate = $date - 2;
$brdate2 = $brdate;

if($brdate < 0)
{
$brdate2 = $brdate + 12;
$ampm = "PM";
}
elseif($brdate == 0)
{
$brdate2 = $brdate + 12;
$ampm = "AM";
}
elseif($brdate <= 11)
{
$ampm = "AM";
}
elseif($brdate == 12)
{
$brdate2 == $brdate;
$ampm = "PM";
}
elseif($brdate >= 13)
{
$brdate2 = $brdate - 12;
$ampm = "PM";
}

if($brdate2 < 10)
{
$hora = "0$brdate2:$min uto$ampm";
}
else
{
$hora = "$brdate2:$minu to$ampm";
}

$adddate = "$hora $dia/$mes/$ano";[/PHP]

You were getting the NOW error because you were probably enclosing the function in quotes

SET DATE = 'NOW()' is wrong, should be
SET DATE = NOW()
