How to insert date from php to postgresql?

Question

PHP

There is a query (pg_query) INSERT to insert a date into the table (timestamp with time zone). How to insert a date? Now I'm getting time zone not recognized error when querying pg_query($dbconn, "INSERT INTO \"Cars\" (id_car, id_sell, date) VALUES (" . $car . ", ". $sell . ", '" . $date . "')");
