Take a look at this:
http://de3.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php

Or try this

http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php

$_SESSION['ExpiryDate'] = "2013-04-23";
$int_timestamp = strtotime($_SESSION['ExpiryDate']);
echo date('D, \t\h\e jS \o\f M Y', $int_timestamp );

Use SINGLE QUOTES!

I'm not sure the issue is solely because of the delay. At any rate, we
were running the load test yesterday against the production system
that was having problems last fall. I wish we had a test system where
we could test everything end-to-end, but unfortunately we can't
duplicate the DHCP part of the production environment.

Hahahaha. This system AND the DHCP both USED to run on linux boxes.
This task was much simpler then, because the DHCP table was a text
file that we parsed and updated directly from PHP. It was decided to
standardize on a single platform to make system maintenance and
security management simpler, and most of our client/server stack was
already Windows. If necessary, I could probably spin up a virtual box
for testing though.

I can't imagine the DB upgrade would have caused it. I think at the
same time he switched to using Zend_Db (not the full framework, just
the DB library) over top of the SQL Server driver for PHP for database
queries.

This particular call is querying DHCP for a list of leases within a
specific scope so we can get the MAC address of the client. Once we
authenticate the user, calls on later pages expire the current lease
for that MAC address on a private subnet and create a semi-permanent
lease on the public subnet.

Our testing yesterday stepped through the process beginning with this
initial DHCP query (which was the long running process identified in
profiling) and the next few very simple pages but stopped short of
actually making any changes to the network assignment. With a single
user, the first page takes a couple seconds and the next few pages are
<50ms. During testing yesterday, we had the system stressed enough to
stretch those times out past a couple minutes.

It looks like we're going to have to continue the test into the next
part of the sign-up process, but that will take some time to learn
about JMeter conditional logic. I suspect we'll have to wait a couple
weeks until students are gone before we can actually run that level of
testing.

Re: [PHP] A little confused

Thanks for the replies guys - figured it out!

Using date() directly with strtotime() and the appropriate formating works
:)

date("D, \\t\h\e jS \o\\f M Y", strtotime($_SESSION['ExpiryTime']))

Why not construct DateTime object

echo date_format(new DateTime($_SESSION['ExpiryDate']), "D, \t\h\e jS \o\f
M Y");

Or

$dt = new DateTime($_SESSION['ExpiryDate']);
echo $dt->format("D, \t\h\e jS \o\f M Y");

I personally like the later. It takes less characters to do more.

Sorry, I didn't read your email properly and didn't realise you were trying to 
use DateTime objects.

$datetime = new DateTime('2013-04-23');

If all you're doing is formatting the date you'll find using 
date($unix_timestamp) far more efficient than date_format($datetime_object).

Yes,

strtotime() does convert the $_SESSION value to a unix epoc, as expected.
However, date_format still complains that the argument is a Integer value,
instead of a DateTime.

Hi All,

$_SESSION['ExpiryDate'] = "2013-04-23";
echo date_format($_SESSION['ExpiryDate'], "D, \t\h\e jS \o\f M Y");

Required Result: Mon, the 23rd of Apr 2013

I get however:  PHP Warning:  date_format() expects parameter 1 to be
DateTime, integer given in

I've had a look at the date/time function list, but I cannot seem to find
any way to convert $_SESSION['ExpiryDate'] to an DateTime??
