Hi Tony, the date() function in PHP does _only_ take UNIX timestamps as an argument which means that you can not run such a timestamp as the above. I recommend that you have a look at http://www.mysql.com/doc/D/a/Date_and_time_functions.html which describes the built-in functions for date-handling in MySQL. A function to look at could be DATE_FORMAT(). Regards, Jome -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
