[SOLVED] Help with Date Function

[refiking]

I'm getting 12-31-1969 for the value.  Here's my code:

while ($raw = mysql_fetch_assoc($dql)){
$exp = $raw['exp_date'];
}
$exp = date("m-d-Y", $exp);

When I take out the $exp = date line, I get the entire timestamp from the db.

I converted the timestamp to time then it worked.  Here's what I put:

while ($raw = mysql_fetch_assoc($dql)){
$date = $raw['exp_date'];
}
$time = time($date);
$exp = date("m-d-Y", $time);
