I've had a hard time dealing with 'timestamps with time zone' in Postgres, and the comments here didn't help much (specifically the one about adding on '00' to the end of the timestamp). So, I've decided to post a trick I've used to easily get a date I can work with from the database: $sql = "SELECT stamp FROM table"; $res = pg_query($connection, $sql); $row = pg_fetch_array($res); $datetime = $row['stamp']; $datetime = substr($datetime, 0, -3); $datetime = strtotime($datetime); $datetime = date("F j, Y g:i A", strtotime("-2 hours", $datetime)); print($datetime) now gives something like "May 28, 2003 12:22 PM." Note: You can leave the 2nd strtotime() out if you don't need to do a time zone conversion: $datetime = date("F j, Y g:i A", $datetime); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32478 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32478&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32478&report=yes
