Getting 0000-00-00 00:00:00 TimeStamp using php artisan tinker

Question

I am using Laravel 5 terminal base php artisan tinker command to insert data into my table .
my code is :

DB::table('songs')->insert(['title'=>'My_Day','created_at'=>'new DateTime','updated_at'=>'new DateTime']);

Result is:

id: "1",

title: "My_Day",

created_at: "0000-00-00 00:00:00"

updated_at: "0000-00-00 00:00:00"

Answer 1

'created_at'=>'new DateTime'

You're trying to set created_at to a string literal new DateTime

Drop the quotes

DB::table('songs')
    ->insert([
        'title'=>'My_Day',
        'created_at'=> new DateTime(),
        'updated_at'=> new DateTime()
    ]);

Better yet, let Laravel do it for you
