note 45635 added to function.date

I am having a issue that no one can answer... I am trying to convert the the date with the simple date() function but it prints out a different date than what the variable is given. Example: $formatdate = date("M d Y", "2004-09-13"); echo $formatdate; # prints Dec 31 1969 Why would it print Dec 31 1969?
