Okay i have a super simple CMS working…well kind of. I can’t figure out how to get the date field to use the current date.

I am using it for news articles with my new website and I just want the date column to update depending on the day it was uploaded…and i want it to read 00-00-0000 not the default 0000-00-00. I tried to type it in, but it just comes back as 2000-00-00?

Is there a good place to find all the different shortcuts or tutorials for phpMyAdmin?
