What is in your variable $_POST? What is your expected in $_POST[DATETIME: Auto NOW()', NOW()]?

I apologize I don't understand the question... $POST isnt a variable but PHP command ....

Ah, $_POST is an associative array retrieved from POST body. You are addressing an element in $_POST, DATETIME: Auto NOW()', NOW(). I am wondered what is in $_POST. Can you print_r($_POST)?
