How can I use now() in Doctrine 2 DQL?

Solution 1:

The equivalent of MySQL's NOW() is Doctrine DQL's CURRENT_TIMESTAMP().

CURRENT_DATE() only returns the date part.

Reference: DQL date/time related functions

Solution 2:

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() uses database timezone, which could lead to weird issues. More simple way - you can use parameter and bind new \DateTime() to it (so you will use php timezone)

It will not work for command line of course, but I suppose that you plan to use it in controller/service/repository/etc..
