convert unix timestamp to date php

[TwitterRooms]

hi all the problem this time is TIME i put the time in the DB eg "1326995615"

how do i display it on the page like "9th Jan 2012, 6:46"

ATM i'm using

'.$row['time'].' 

to call it back from the mysql_query but it just displays "1326995615"

Are you saying you want to know how to show the date in PHP?

yes BUT the time is coming from the database not the server clock

Get the value from the database into a variable. mysql_query(), mysql_fetch_assoc(), etc.

Then:

date('Y'); //show the current year based on the server's clock
date('Y',$mydate); //show the year based on the timestamp of $mydate 

$mydate should be the value from the database. Note that this should be in a timestamp format. For example, right now, it is: 1327001074

As for date formats, read the php.net page:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

store it in the db as a DATETIME and use something like this before storing it:

$time = date("y/m/d : H:i:s", time()); 

then just store $time in the column you made with type DATETIME.
