I’ve got the following code:

$query = $this->EE->db->select('*')->where('form_name', 'Newsletter')->get('freeform_entries');
        $filename = "newsletter.csv";
        $path = "some/path";
        $delimiter = ",";
        $newline = "\r\n";
        $csv_data = $this->EE->dbutil->csv_from_result($query, $delimiter, $newline);

But one of those fields is a timestamp and i need to convert it to date time so that when output to csv that is how it looks. so i need 20-10-13 09:28 rather than 1357752502

Any ideas?

    FROM_UNIXTIME returns a representation of the unix_timestamp argument as a value in ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS’:

    $query = $this->EE->db->select('FROM_UNIXTIME(timestamp_field) AS "value"', ... )->where('form_name', 'Newsletter')->get('freeform_entries');
        $filename = "newsletter.csv";
        $path = "some/path";
        $delimiter = ",";
        $newline = "\r\n";
        $csv_data = $this->EE->dbutil->csv_from_result($query, $delimiter, $newline);
