is there any way to pass mysql's NOW() to mysql ?

I think when you insert values using the active record quotes are escaped.. the purpose of the $this->db->set('DateUploaded', 'NOW()',false); is to ensure 'NOW()' is not escaped (the false parameter tells the set not to escape 'NOW()').

does this work?

Code:

//Data
$data = array(
    'ID' => '',
    'Hash' => $params['file_name']
);  

$this->db->set('DateUploaded', 'NOW()',false);
$this->db->set($data);

$this->db->insert('Photos');
