Do you mean that you want to display the current time? Then it is possible to use the time and date functions.
time() will return the current timestamp of the server. Timestamps represent the number of seconds since 1 jan 1970. This can be converted to a readable time and date with strftime (for everybody who can't read timestamps ofcourse ;-)).

strftime can be influenced by setlocale(). This can set the language for date and time, so if you want the dayname to be displayed in dutch: setlocale('nl_NL'); and wednesday will be printed as woensdag.

Hope this answers your question. mcvdmvs

If you simply want to write a timestamp to MySQL, use now() as a value:

UPDATE table SET time = now();
