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

$ php app/console doctrine:query:dql 'SELECT NOW()'

[Doctrine\ORM\Query\QueryException] [Syntax Error] line 0, col 7: Error: Expected known function, got 'now'

How can I use MySQL's NOW() function with Doctrine's DQL?

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..

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
