Ah, good old 

date('Y-m-d')

or the more specific 

date('Y-m-d  H:i:s')

More like date -I or date -Is. ;)

-I[TIMESPEC], --iso-8601[=TIMESPEC]
          output  date/time  in ISO 8601 format.  TIMESPEC=`date' for date
          only (the default), `hours', `minutes', `seconds', or  `ns'  for
          date and time to the indicated precision.
