Hi mark: You could add the function by yourself. Boz the new feature could affect 
other parameter of Data() function. And the patch you could try for your own 
version PHP.

Description:
------------

From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.date

Is there any chance the common Y-m-d H:i:s can be summarized as "Q" for the common MySQL
datetime format. I have written this sequence hundreds of times (You're the man now dog, Hamlet
in space?)
Seeing as MySQL and PHP are so commonly tied together I think this could be a very useful shortcut
to add.

Easier and quicker to memorize.


Test script:
---------------
<?php 
echo date('Q'); // Prints Q

Expected result:
----------------
2012-05-10 12:00:00
