Question

Can any one explain to me why the line of code:

Date("l F d, Y","2013-01-25T01:42:16.411Z")

Is returning:

Wednesday December 31, 1969

And not:

Wednesday January 25, 2013

Answer 1

The second parameter for date() is a Unix timestamp, not a formatted string:

date("l F d, Y",strtotime("2013-01-25T01:42:16.411Z"));

I used strtotime() to convert it to a Unix timestamp before formatting it with date();
