How do I add the date with active records, meaning a MySQL NOW() function equivalent?

The title says it all. I tried inserting 'NOW()' as a string but it didn't work so I guess I have insert the date myself in a fitting datetime format. How do I do this?

Code:

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

You can also do it like this:

Code:

$now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

$data = array(
    'your_date_field_name' => $now
);

$this->db->insert('your_table_name', $data);
