How to show the time when the blockchain contract called?

Question

I want to show the time when blockchain contract called.

I am currently saving the time in the blockchain using a method like this

function userCheckIn(uint placeid) public {
    userCount++;
    checkins[userCount] = Checkin(placeid, msg.sender, new Date(now * 1000));
}

However, Date says Identifier not found or not unique.

Could you give me any advise, please?

You are trying to create a JS object Date. Obviously, it won't work since it's not JS but Solidity.

If you want the current time when the function is called (so mined), you can use now.
