[Resolved] converting Unix Timestamp to string

[beedge_returns]

Hi,

Im building a web app that lets you look up events for the next 14 days by clicking on the link for that day.

An example of which can be seen at : http://www.peoplesrepublicofcork.com/~peoplesr/eventguide/

I think the easiest way to do this will be to use:
strtotime(+1 day)
strtotime(+2 days)... etc

This will return a unix timestamp for these days.

My problem is that I cannot find a function to convert the timestamps to human readable dates as in the URL link above

Any ideas as to a function I could use?

Thanks in advance

[man]date()[/man]

It's a good idea to dig into the manual once in a while, because if you had gone to php.net and typed convert date into their search box, you'd have found this one pretty easily. (Or, if you had done that here, you'd have found that one pretty easily as well...)

[man]date[/man]

opps I feel kinda stupid now buit when I tried

$test = strtotime ("tomorrow");
echo "testing: ", date($test);

I got the timestamp ouptutted instead of the expected formatted string?

You need a date format like date("m/d/Y", $test);
The timestamp is the second argument.
