No, not weird. MySQL uses a timestamp in the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format. Date() is expecting a UNIX timestamp, which is the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970. So... you can either use DATE_FORMAT() in your query, with is the MySQL equivalent of date(). Look up the format in the manual. Or, you can use UNIX_TIMESTAMP() in your query to select out the unix timestamp instead of the mysql timestamp, and then use that value within date() in your PHP script. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
