Insert server time to Postgres DB

[ghjk]

I want to insert current server time to the postgres database. Data type is timestamp. When I insert the date, got an error saying

Warning: pg_query() [function.pg-query]: Query failed: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type timestamp: "1246960321 " in C:\Program Files\xampp\htd ocs\xxx\xxx\xxx .php on line 57
Error in SQL query: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type timestamp: "1246960321 "

I take the time as follows.

$today = strtotime("now");

Please help me..

wouldn't it be easier in this case to use the SQL function NOW()?

INSERT INTO ... VALUES ( NOW() )

edit: do you pass the timestamp as string or integer value?
