[Resolved] Unix time stamp to 'normal date'

[brainlag]

Using this code,

<?php
    $knowntide = strtotime('2005-05-28 12:45');
    $current = date(U);
    $interval = (12 * 3600) + (25 * 60);

$num_tides_passed = floor(($current - $knowntide) / $interval);
$last_tide = $knowntide + ($interval * $num_tides_passed);
$next_high = $last_tide + (12 * 3600);
$next_low = $last_tide + (6 * 3600) + (13 * 60);

   echo $next_high
?> 

I get a Unix Time Stamp for a return. How do I turn it back into a 'normal date' eg: 05/30 9:00pm?

The manual has plenty of information if I wanted to display seconds or hours since or ahead, but I couldn't find anywhere that had a unix time stamp to 'normal date' function.

Thank you

Use the date function to put it in whatever format you prefer.

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp);

<?php
    $knowntide = strtotime('2005-05-30 02:09');
    $current = date(U);
    $interval = (12 * 3600) + (25 * 60);

$num_tides_passed = floor(($current - $knowntide) / $interval);
$last_tide = $knowntide + ($interval * $num_tides_passed);
$next_high = $last_tide + (12 * 3600);
$next_low = $last_tide + (6 * 3600) + (13 * 60);

   echo date('m/d g:i a', $next_low + 25200) ."\n";
   echo date('m/d g:i a', $next_high + 25200) ."\n";
?> 

I changed "$timestamp" to the parameter I needed and it works well. THanks for the quick answer 😃
