Displaying a MS Access - Medium time field

I have a MS Access 2000 database, which has a field whose format is "Medium Time" named $class_time. The $class_date (Format "Short Date") prints with no problem. If I try to take the field from the database (without formatting) and echo it, I get "1899-12-30 13:00:00" If I try: date ("format", strtotime($class_time)) with the $class_time field I get an unexpected error (probably because the date (as you can see above) is prior to Dec 13, 1901). If I try: date ("format", $class_time) I get 7:31 PM for every entry. Any solutions? This isn't my database, so I'd prefer not to screw with it too much if I can help it. CODE FOLLOWS: $class_date = $schedule->fields[0]; $class_date = date ("l, F j, Y", strtotime ($class_date)); $class_time = $schedule->fields[1]; $class_time = date ("g:i A", $class_time ); //<--I have tried this with strtotime also to no avail echo "<td>$class_date<br />$class_time</td>\n"; //echoes date wonderfully, time all messed up --------------------- John Asendorf - jasendorf@lcounty.com Web Applications Developer http://www.lcounty.com - NEW FEATURES ADDED DAILY!
