Not sure how others would tackle this, but I would use something like $readabledate = date("dS F Y @ H:i:s", strtotime(substr($timestamp,0,4)."-" .substr($timestamp,4,2)."-" .substr($timestamp,6,2)." " .substr($timestamp,8,2).":" .substr($timestamp,10,2).":" .substr($timestamp,12,2)));
Not sure this is bug free, but it should change your timestamp (yes it is a database timestamp) into the readable format you described. It's yours to debug. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Good luck, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Erin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 4:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Time problem Hi All, Sorry if this has been asked a 1000 times and if its easy to find in the php manual but i cant seam to solve this.
