title: Insert users join date into the database
body: <p>How would I go about adding the current date into the database (MySQL) when a user registers? I know I would need to add a row in the database (Join_date or something), what would I set that to when creating that row? timestamp? varchar? </p>
  
  <p>I want to make it so when the user submits the registration form it adds the current date to the join date row. </p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
