They return the time in different formats. Read the MySQL manual then read the PHP manual (or vice-versa). The MySQL timestamp is human readable. So in your example above: 20020305211704 ==> 2002-03-05 21:17:04 time() in PHP is the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk /* But, officer, he's not drunk, I just saw his fingers twitch! */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
