Set the timestamp to current server time manually...

Hi,

I realize this question may be fairly easy to answer, but I just
haven't managed to get a clear understanding of how to do it through
the documentation or google search.

I settled by using the database convention of naming my date field to
'created' as a datetime field in the database and in the model.

This way, when I save it stores the current timestamp.

However I'd like to know if there's a way I can manually set the
timestamp using the Time helper or another time/date function in
cakephp. Couldn't find anything similar online, I'd appreciate any
comments.

The idea is to do something like this in the controller:

$this->data[Visit].['date'] = timestamp()* (I realize this could take
any shape or form, please suggest the simplest most cakephp framework
centric alternative).

Thanks!
German.
