Okay so I have an array of results from a table, we have a start and end time we are retrieving. the start/end time would look something like this: 

1345497551

Now I’m trying to convert this to a real time, for instance 1345497551 might become 2012/05/09 17:23:12 or something. I’ve found a few things but none seem to work correctly. one solution I tried, according to what someone was saying on another question on here, was 

$createdate = date('H:i:s',$numberofsecs);

where $numberofsecs was the time pulled in from the array. but this only ever outputs 17:00:00 repeatedly for every time we had available for testing.

How can I go about making this work correctly?

    Assuming that that’s a standard unix timestamp string (seconds since midnight 1/1/1970), then you should be able to use date as you mentioned, but just modify the format string:

    echo date('Y/m/d H:i:s', $numberofsecs);

    The example you mention where you were always getting 17:00:00 could have been because your test cases were all only datestamps, encoded as timestamps, and having an offset from GMT . . .
