Strange Date Results

[Anon]

I got this result when performing this code
1970 Aug 20

$x = date("Y M d", "20010921");

echo("$x");

why is that ? it suppose to be 2001 September 21

what should i do to get this result 2001 September 21

Date() takes an epoch timestamp (seconds since Jan 1st 1970) not a string vaguely resembling a timestamp.

Read about date() and mktime() in the manual.

so what do you think the best way to get the new date, with that

echo date('Y M d', mktime(0,0,0,1,21,2001));
