Re: Best way to convert PG's TIMESTAMPTZ to PHP DATE?

Hmmm,
Sometimes that happens to me too, I cannot seem to isolate what causes
it however. When I get that I use the PG to_char function in my statement
to convert the value to something I can use in PHP. I wish I could provide
more information about why this is hit and miss.

for some reason I get:

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:59:59 -0500

as output on any entry.

$rows = pg_num_rows($result);

// if records present
if ($rows > 0)
{
// iterate through resultset
for ($i=0; $i<$rows; $i++)
{
$row = pg_fetch_object($result, $i);
$conv_date = date('r',strtotime($row->posted));
?>
<li><font size="-1"><b><? echo $conv_date; ?></b></font>
<br>

<font size="-1"><? echo $row->notes; ?></font>
<p>
<?
}
}
