I am trying to grab some info in a table and show it properly in a PHP script I wrote. The date appears as:

1002122469

...which is this morning.

What is the quick script to convert that?? my FIELD NAME for the date is "ap_date"

Any help?

I know in Perl there is a sub routine that does that..

w3t::convert_time(TIME,USEROFFSET);

Isn't there something like that in PHP?? Open up the showflat or showthreaded and so a search for convert... you should see the convert sub routine be called..

Use the function date(format, timestamp) where timestamp is the unix epoch time you are seeing (ap_date) and format is a string like "d/m/Y H:i:s". That would display the date as "day/month/year hour:min:sec". See the date man page for more characters recognized in the format string.
