Problems reformatting Unix timestamp with strftime

I've checked this in the PHP documentation and done a scan of the archive to try to work out where I am going wrong but have failed. I know I could fix this problem by using substrings and processing them, but PHP has a simpler function which should work. Shouldn't it? In my database a record has a timestamp of: 20010213173654 I extract the timestamp with a select statement, and process it with: strftime("%A, %e %B %Y", $lastmodified) (where lastmodified is the variable containing the timestamp) and it produces the output: Monday, 18 January 2038 Does anyone know why PHP isn't interpreting the timestamp correctly? I can't work out how it could misinterpret the timestamp like this... Thanks for any help! -- Steven "Sponges grow in the ocean... that *kills* me.
