PHP String to time Error

Question

I've been using string to time in my website to format the date stamps held in a database and up until now the method I'm using has been fine up to this point. Here is the code:

$memberdate = $member['date'];
$memberdate = date('jS F Y', strtotime($memberdate));

The initial $membersate value is 1381742596 - The output value is 1st January 1970

Does anyone know a reason why this would be working for all other pages/scripts but not now?

because 2nd date parameter has to be an integer (so $memberdate would be enough). strtotime() requires a string, like "2013-11-07" or "+1 day" — Asenar

Ah yes, thanks @Asenar - I just had a look at my other date stamps and they're in 20131107 format so that's why it works for those - Thanks again — user2737457

strtotime() is used, when you are converting ie. "2013-11-07 16:29:30" to its integer value.

But you already have it as unix_timestamp (integer value), so you dont need to use strttotime().

$memberdate = date('jS F Y', $member['date']);
