title: PDO::PARAM for dates?
body: <p>Does some <code>PDO::PARAM_???</code> exist which can be used for dates or timestamps?</p>
  <p>Sample code:</p>
  <pre><code>$sql = &quot;UPDATE my_table SET current_date = :date WHERE id = 43&quot;;
  $statement = $pdo-&gt;prepare ($sql);
  $statement-&gt;bindValue (&quot;:date&quot;, strtotime (date (&quot;Y-m-d H:i:s&quot;)), PDO::PARAM_STR);
  $statement-&gt;execute ();
  </code></pre>
