Every time in PHP when I make a variable such as this one:
$date = strtotime($row['date']);
$date = date("M d Y \a\\t g:i A", $date); // Mmm dd YYYY at h:mm PM/AM
and somehow row['date'] happens to be 0, the date Dec 31 1969 at 7:00 PM is displayed on the screen? Google does not tell me much, I was wondering if this date had any significances.
The Unix epoch is the time 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. This is the reference point for all time stamps. When you use PHP’s date/time functions, you’re always working with the number of seconds since the epoch. Time 0 is the epoch, and you (or your web server) must be on the east coast of the US, which is 5 hours behind UTC time.
