How to insert NOW() in DATETIME field

You can also use the Time Class.

CodeIgniter 4 User Guide - Times and Dates - now()

PHP Code:

<?php

use CodeIgniter\I18n\Time;

$now = new Time('now');

    'created_at' => $now,
    'updated_at' => $now, 


I can, but won't that also use the server time from where PHP is running, rather than where MySQL is running? ?
