Next, add **created_at** and **updated_at** date columns to your table. Now, whenever you save the model, the creation and update timestamps will be set automatically. You're welcome.
In some cases it may be useful to update the **updated_at** date column without actually modifying any data within the model. Simply use the **touch** method, which will also automatically save the changes immediately:
$comment = Comment::find(1);
$comment->touch();
You can also use the **timestamp** function to update the **updated_at** date column without saving the model immediately. Note that if you are actually modifying the model's data this is handled behind the scenes:
$comment = Comment::find(1);
$comment->timestamp();
//do something else here, but not modifying the $comment model data
$comment->save();
> **Note:** You can change the default timezone of your application in the **application/config/application.php** file.
