now() is a SQL function.

mysql_query("INSERT INTO inventory (item_num, location, quantity,
date_modified) VALUES($row[0], 'FLR', $row[1], now())")

Or if you have access to your table you can change the default data to
CURRENT_DATE() for date_modified row. This way you do not have to add
any date into that field. Any time you do an insert\update the current
date\time will be updated automatically. Hence:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO inventory (item_num, location, quantity)
VALUES($row[0], 'FLR', $row[1])")
