Can > anyone tell me what's happening? The smallest 14 digit timestamp in the format that date() uses gives me approx 317,000 years after 1970. Presumably this is not quite what you're after. Are you by any chance using a timestamp in the format DDMMYYYYHHMMSS (or similar)? If this is so then it's wrong. The date() function uses a timestamp in the format returned by the time() function, or the mktime() function. ie number of seconds elapsed since midnight 1st Jan 1970. -- Richard Heyes http://www.heyes-computing.net/scripts/ Plain text email only please!
