[nycphp-talk] mySQL datetime fields default now() fails

I have a mySQL database table with a column field datatype of datetime that I set up in the original create table statement like this:

create table nnet_usermetadata (
...
 nnet_record_entered datetime default 'now()'
)

However, upon execution, each time a record is entered into nnet_usermetadata the results are:

00-00-0000 00:00:00

Is there a way I can always ensure that the current date and time are always entered into the datetime field?  I would prefer to not have a server-side PHP or any other scripting solution because by doing so would mean I would have to alter my table to do so, and after the barrage of questions you've received from me would you trust me to do so effectively?
