php - How can I format my timestamp right? -

i have timestamp mysql database , format it.

$date = $row['date'];  $date = date("f j, y, g:i a");

my problem prints not date of database. instead prints out current date. not need.

so if print this, right date:

printf($row['date']);

but if print right format not right date:

 printf($date);

you need pass date, unix timestamp, date() second parameter. otherwise date() has no idea want format specific date:

$date = date("f j, y, g:i a", strtotime($row['date']));

this assumes $row['date'] in valid date format.
