List Fields In Databse By Date Format

Insert Date Format : '19:52:10 Aug 02, 2005 PDT'
I'm receiving a date in the format ཏ:52:10 Aug 02, 2005 PDT', which I would like to insert - how do I do this? It looks like none of the date/time types are in this format. Is there a function to convert this format into one of those?

Alternatively, I could simply use the NOW() function, since I really don't need the time precision. But I read the FAQ about the use of NOW(), and I'm using a variable to do my insert (with several other fields in addition to the date), and the FAQ made it sound like you couldn't use NOW() in a sql string variable.

Relational Databse Insert Query
I have 3 tables. Garment. Colors. and Garment/Color. I am trying to make a page where I can add a garment and also choose it's colors at the same time. I have done this several times. This time it's more complicated because the Garment/Color table has many fields, some for sizes and some for additional cost for those sizes. This way, my products can be really accurately added to my database because some product/color combos don't comer in certain sizes or cost more. How do I do this logically?

I have a query that adds the info to the Garment table. but I can't figure out how to add a row for each color option chosen as well as the various fields for each color/garment combo. I think it must be some kind of foreach statement? You can look at this to help visualize the problem.
