[RESOLVED] Parseing time

[deltaforce229]

how do i parse a timestamp?

this is what i tried and it just echoed the timestamp

$format = '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S';
$time = date("08032007182234519",$format);
echo $time;

EDIT: never mind i figured it out i should have used the strftime function.

First, you've got the format and the timestamp back to front.
Second, either the format is wrong or you meant to use [man]strftime[/man] instead of [man]date[/man].
Third, that's not a valid timestamp. (As I write this the current time is only 1173487451). Where are you getting that string from and can't you get it in a different format (it doesn't even look like a MySQL timestamp)?
