[TYPO3] exec_INSERTquery what can I use for the sql NOW()?

[Matthew Manderson]

Regards!

Any clues as to what I can use for the sql NOW() in my exec_INSERTquery?

At the moment I have constructed it but this does not seem like the TYPO3
way as I would need to define it every time. With such perfectly formed
exec_INSERTquery maybe there is a better way?

$now = time();
$now = date('YmdHis',$now)

Thanks
Matthew
