Re: Re: DATE FORMAT ISSUES

Yeah, I select it using UNIX_TIMESTAMP(creation_datetime) and then I am using date("M d, Y g:ia",$myrow["creation_datetime"]) at the end of a printf statement but the date comes back as Dec 31 1969 7:00pm for all entries. When the date was inserted I used now() in the insert statement.
