date() function

[rwilkerson]

I'm trying to use the date() function, but with no success. I'm displaying a timestamp field from MySQL and trying to display it as:

<?php echo date ( $last_update, 'd . M . Y g : i : s A' ); ?>

What I'm seeing, though, is "20020211192917". Can anyone tell me why? I can't seem to get it to work at all. Is timestamp not a "recognized" date format?

Thanks.

Never mind. Chalk it up to being a newbie. I misread the documentation.
