title: The NOW() function with code igniter
body: <p>I want to post the <code>now()</code> function in my mysqli 
  but there is no output. When I use the time <code>('NOW()')</code> I get <code>838:59:59</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  public function ajax_add()
  {
      $this-&gt;_validate();
      $data = array(
          'datum' =&gt; date('Y-m-d'),
          'firma' =&gt; $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('firma'),
          'naam' =&gt; $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('naam'),
          'telefoonnummer' =&gt; $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('telefoonnummer'),
          'opdrachtgever' =&gt; $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('opdrachtgever'),
          'werkzaamheden' =&gt; $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('werkzaamheden'),
          'aangemeld' =&gt; $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('aangemeld'),
          'pasnummer' =&gt; $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('pasnummer'),
          'aangemeld' =&gt; time('NOW()')
          );
      $insert = $this-&gt;person-&gt;save($data);
  }
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I missing? </p>
