Answer 1

I assume you are using PHP. When running queries, you should make use of prepared statements as it comes with a lot of benefits such as:
Reduced parsing time in that the preparation of your query is done only once.
SQL injection prevention.
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check that your connection was successful
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
// prepare and bind
$qry1 = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO life (title, quotation, photos, datetime) VALUES (?, ?, ?, NOW())");
$qry1->bind_param("sss", $title, $quotation, $vphoto);
// set parameters and execute
$title = "Lorem Ipsum";
$quotation = "Lorem Ipsum";
$vphoto = "lorem#ipsum.com";
$qry1->execute();
$qry1->close();
$conn->close();

Answer 2

In php if you are using single quote 'x' then inside this you have to usedouble quote " " . Like this
$q = ' xyz("djch")' to maintain the escape sequence.
For your query you should use the curly braces to wrap the variables in php.
$q = "INSERT INTO life (v1,v2,v3) VALUES ('{$v1}','{$v2}','{$v3}')";

Answer 3

If you're looking to store the current time just use MYSQL's functions.
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` (`dateposted`) VALUES (now())");
If you need to use PHP to do it, the format it Y-m-d H:i:s so try
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` (`dateposted`) VALUES ('$date')");
your Code:
$qry1='insert into life(title,quotation,photos,datetime) values('.$title.','.$quotation.','.$vphoto.''now())';'
change to this:
$qry1="insert into life(title,quotation,photos,datetime) values('.$title.','.$quotation.','.$vphoto.', now())';'

Answer 4

$qry1='insert into life(title,quotation,photos,datetime) values("'.$title.'","'.$quotation.'","'.$vphoto.'", now())';
try above code if you use single codes on values('.$title .') compiler will thing start point of query is near 'insert AND end point is near 'title

Answer 5

Try this. You have misused single quotes and concatenation.
$qry1 = "INSERT INTO life ( title, quotation, photos, datetime ) VALUES('$title', '$quotation', '$vphoto', NOW())";
Note: Your query is wide open to Sql Injections. Learn about prapared statements or PDO
