date help

[itworks]

i'm developing a shopping cart site and i want the site to have a time/date in it and when the user adds an item to the cart the date of that addiction is stored in the database.

so how can i make this:

1. get the current time and date.
2. store in the database the current date of the action.

thanks in advance.

see [man]date[/man] or [man]mktime[/man]
save this value o a variable, with this var, you can store than into db
