Date() commmand

[QSDragon]

Having some trouble understanding the date() command.
I want to input into mysql database the correct date in the format DD/MM/YYYY? does anyone know how to adjust date() command to allow me to get current date in this format to a value to input into my database?
Thanks ppl.

please RTFM, read the fine manual, you will find it knows a lot.

look at example 4, it should clear things up:

if this does not help please specify which part you do not find clear.
