[RESOLVED] Converting timestamps

[hex1a4]

Hi,
In PHP4, I need to convert a Unix timestamp in the format '2008-10-21 00:00:00' to an integer timestamp that will work with date(). How do I do it?

Thank you.

EDIT: Right now I'm doing this:

echo "<strong>".date('d M/y',$sitenews['date'])."</strong><br>\n" 

but the date displayed is 31 Dec/69 instead of the correct date.

hmn, you need to rearange the early part of your number:

$dateAr1 = explode(' ', $sitenews['date']);
$dateAr2 = explode('-', $dateAr1[0]);
$dateAr3 = explode(':', $dateAr1[1]);

$timeStamp = mktime($dateAr3[0],$dateAr3[1], $dateAr3[2], $dateAr2[1], $dateAr2[2], $dateAr2[0]);

echo "<strong>".date('d M/y',$timeStamp)."</strong><br>\n"

This did the trick. Thank you.
