Hello All,
I have a problem where Dates are coming out as 12.31.1969 19:00:00 which of
course we didn't have PC's in 1969
I'm not able to see where the date is getting screwed up, any ideas??

$pubdate is probably null or something.

FYI the date field is stored in a MySQL DB as a datetime type

Suggestion only.
if (isset($pubdate)) $pubdate = strtotime($pubdate);
if (isset($pubdate)) $pubdate = strftime("%m.%d.%Y %H:%M:%S", $pubdate);
could be
if (isset($pubdate)) $pubdate = mktime("m d Y
H:i:s",strtotime($pubdate));
Reducing the code
I also changed this to MKtime from strftime because The %e modifier is not
supported in the Windows implementation of this function. To achieve this
value, the %#d modifier can be used instead. The example below illustrates
how to write a cross platform compatible function.
Please read on the MKTIME function
