PHP Date stamp question...

[All4172]

I'm trying to recreate the following in PHP DATE but unsure of what the entire stamp on the end is:

2006071310505

2006 = Year
07    = July
13    = Day in month
10505 = ?????????

Any ideas of what the 5 digit code on the end is?

Where did you get this number?

Its some sort of a date stamp that is used to tag article files.  I'm attempting to reproduce it within a PHP script but don't have access to seeing how the original date stamp is done.

Do you have any other clues. Is it used in any displays where it is formatted. Do you have anymore examples of the number? Those remaining 5 digits could be just a id tacked on for other purposes. Without more examples, I don't think we can give you an exact answer.

Well best clue I have is this here:

2006070710348

From the Article date itself it appear to be created at 3:48 in the afternoon....and I "think" that when its 10348 that equals 3:48 PM, and if its 00348 that would equal 3:48 AM.  At least that's the best I can come up with.

thats the timing i dont know exactly what it is but heres how i decode it

[code]
<?php
$datefromdb = $row['table_row'];
$year = substr($datefromdb,0,4);
$mon  = substr($datefromdb,4,2);
$day  = substr($datefromdb,6,2);
$hour = substr($datefromdb,8,2);
$hour = $hour - 5;
$min  = substr($datefromdb,10,2);
$sec  = substr($datefromdb,12,2);
$time = date("l F dS, Y h:i A",mktime($hour,$min,$sec,$mon,$day,$year));

//then u could display the $time

echo ("$time")
?>
[/code]
after this it comes out like this
