Debido a que nadie ha respondido explícitamente a la pregunta, agregaré la respuesta correcta en aras de la exhaustividad.
$stmt = $pdoDb->prepare('INSERT INTO tablename (id, value, time_created) VALUES (:id, :value, NOW())');
// either bind each parameter explicitly
$stmt->bindParam(':id', $id); // PDOStatement::bindValue() is also possibly
$stmt->bindParam(':value', $value);
$stmt->execute();
// or bind when executing the statement
$stmt->execute(array(
':id' => $id,
':value' => $value
));
