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
