[SOLVED] Help with Date Format

[limitphp]

I have a column datetime called date.

Here's the value of an entry for the datetime:

2009-05-10 06:06:55

 

here's the code:

$date = $row_inbox['date'];
$date = date('D, M d, Y  g', $date);

 

its returning:

Wed, Dec 31, 1969 6

 

I want it to return short day, short month day, year time

 

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

the second parameter requires a UNIX timestamp. Use strtotime to convert $date to unix timestamp

[limitphp]

ok, its working now....

but its saying Sat. may 10.....instead of Sunday may 10th....

man date

[limitphp]

man date

 

I'm sorry....what I mean is, its giving me the wrong day.  Its saying Sat. instead of Sun.

That's server time, the time your server is in, not your local time. Though I guess you can use setlocale to adjust.
