timestamp data to a string

[seanlyons]

I have a timestamp field in my database, that gives me a a date every time a user updates their record.

If I want to display that data, in html what do I do.

I looked at the php manual, and I am pretty sure I should be using strftime, but I don't really understand the syntax.

Can anyone give me a pointer?

There are several ways to go here, I would suggest looking ate the date() function. all you have to do is pick your date format and pass it the timestamp from the database. i.e.

echo date("m/d/Y",$row['timestamp'])

this will output the date format that you specify.

forgot to mention that all the format possibilities can be found n the manual under the date() function.
