How to insert NOW() in DATETIME field

Here is a helper method I wrote to do just that.

PHP Code:

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------

/**
 * Method for MySQLi NOW()
 */
if ( ! function_exists('now'))
{
    /**
     * -------------------------------------------------------------------
     * now ()
     * -------------------------------------------------------------------
     *
     * @return string
     */
    function now() : string
    {
        return date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
    }
}
