http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php copied from the comments (formatting may be lost) scott at pigandcow dot com 29-Dec-2003 09:54 Unfortunately, strtotime() can't convert mysql timestamps of the form YYYYMMDDhhmmss (the default 14 character timestamp). Here's a function to do it for you: function convert_timestamp ($timestamp, $adjust="") { $timestring = substr($timestamp,0,8)." ". substr($timestamp,8,2).":". substr($timestamp,10,2).":". substr($timestamp,12,2); return strtotime($timestring." $adjust"); } Remember that the $adjust string needs to be properly spaced- "+ 30 days", not "+30days"! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
