Formatting Date

[ShaolinF]

Hi Guys

I am trying to format a timestamp from the DB using the date function but it keeps returning 1/1/1970.

 

$date_posted = 2009-11-25 22:14:25

date( "d/m/Y", $date_posted); // = 01/01/1970

date only accepts Unix-Timestamps. You have to pass your date through strtotime -- like so:

 

<?php
$date_posted = 2009-11-25 22:14:25
$date_posted = strtotime($date_posted);
date( "d/m/Y", $date_posted);
?>
