Note Submitter: jroberts at forumone dot com ---- Looks to me like most of the example scripts on this page could better be accomplished by built-in PHP functions strtotime() (turns a string such as a MySQL datestamp into a UNIX timestamp) date() accepts a UNIX datestamp (optional) and lets you provide a formatting string to meet almost any need additionally, the MySQL command DATE_FORMAT() would let you convert MySQL datestamps to pretty much any format as you pull them from the DB.
