note 85509 deleted from function.date by tularis

Note Submitter: jonathancnewcomb at msn dot com ---- I had a question come to my inbox today from a newer developer. He asked me why his conversion from the Unix Epoch to a date format wasn't working correctly. Here is the answer: The Unix Epoch date is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 GMT The date function goes off the server time zone. Heres a simple function to help function epoch2date($format, $epoch){ // Function by Jonathan Newcomb (jonathancnewcomb@msn.com) $gmt = substr(date('O'), 0, 3); $ret = date($format, mktime($gmt, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1970)); return $ret; }
