working with strftime

[graziano]

I have a $newdate variable that contains date manipulated with mktime and it returns this value

1007107200

To extract the month I used this

$newmonth = strftime ("%b", $newdate);

and it works fine returning NOV

to get the Year (4 digits) I tried

$newyear = strftime ("%g", $newdate);

and

$newyear = strftime ("%G", $newdate);

but it returns nothing ...
Anyone can tell me what I have to do to get the
year (4 digits for example "2002") from 1007107200 ?

Thank you

well, after reading the manual on [man]strftime/man, it seems that %Y is the thing you are looking for.

$newyear = strftime ("%Y", $newdate);

and.... I just tried it and it works fine. Another thing to prove the old adage about the manual being quicker.
