getdate problems

[peasepud]

Hi,

Im taking a date from a database and storing it in $when which on echo is returning the expected value of 2007-08-01 19:45:00

if I then take $when and process it through getdate($when) and print_r the array I get:

Array ( [seconds] => 21 [minutes] => 1 [hours] => 15 [mday] => 23 [wday] => 2 [mon] => 10 [year] => 2007 [yday] => 295 [weekday] => Tuesday [month] => October [0] => 1193148081 )

Can anyone tell me where Im going wrong? I seem to have added on about 90 days or so somewhere?

getdate

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

getdate — Get date/time information
Description
array getdate ( [int $timestamp] )

Returns an associative array containing the date information of the timestamp, or the current local time if no timestamp is given.
Parameters
[red]
timestamp

The optional timestamp parameter is an [blue]integer[/blue] Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a timestamp is not given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time().
[/red]

getdate expects a unix timestamp, i the form of an integer.
Your Date value isn't in that format.

Try running your $when variable through the strtotime() function, and then through getdate.

as vacunita implies, it won't work the way that you have it. try

print_r(getDate(strtotime($when)));
