[quote author="Matalina" date="1333050693"]You don't need now() and I think that's the wrong function as well. If you want the current time you need to to time();

Now is only mysql function.

but just leaving it empty will make it the currrent time. Read the php docs.[/quote]

thanks a great deal. I have removed the now, but its still the same. I feel the problem should be from the controller. I don't know if the controller is getting the date variable. I am going bald trying to figure this out. I've tried various approach all to no avail.
