verify unix date?

[Ciscoserret]

Is there a way to verify that a unix date stored in a database is valid, before using date() on it to covert it to an english readable date? I've inherited a project that has a database that has garbage in some of the date fields, and date($englishformat, $theunixdate) generates an error if the unix date isn't valid.

You use this same concept to validate your timestamps. If you have any questions or need help, just let me know.
