PHP Timestamp

I have the following code;

$date = date("d/m/y G:i","20060526154458");
echo $date;

which when I print it gives the date as

19/01/38 3:14

I'm obviously doing something daft. Any ideas?

 

Can you tell what you exactly you want to do?

 

Yeah Steve, would be handy to know what you;re actually trying to accomplish because that code is just fine... You're getting there what you are asking for.

 

is this what you are trying to do?

 $date = date("d/m/y G:i",mktime(15,44,58,05,26,2006));
echo $date;

Code (markup):

 

Yes Weirfire's code is doing what it's supposed to but I believe what he's referring to is the fact that the date it's outputting isn't what he's expecting. The problem is his "timestamp" is not a valid one (unix timestamps only have 10 digits), so the date is wrong since the timestamp is out of range.

 

Try this:

$date = date("d/m/y G:i", strtotime("20060526154458"));
echo $date;

PHP:

Returns: 26/05/06 15:44

 

Thanks Young Twig. Thats exactly what I was looking for.

Sorry guys... I should have specified what output I was trying to achieve.

 

If you're getting that number from DB, you can just do SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(datecolumn) AS datecolumn and don't have to do the strtotime.
