Why is NOW UTC incorrect time format? It has worked fine before!

Saving data to database causes error

In PHP it was always been the way that the NOW_UTC returns the date with a Z at the end, in NodeJS we fixed this in last update. The Z indicates the timezone in the ISO 8601 standard. MySQL still doesn’t support timezones, you pass a localtime and internally it converts that to an UTC time. You could strip off the Z when you want to store it like that.
