Assuming you are using PHP5 3 then the modern way of handling dates is via the native DateTime class  To get the current time you can just call   currentTime   new DateTime      To create a DateTime object from a specific timestamp  i e  not now    currentTime   DateTime  createFromFormat   U    timestamp      To get a formatted string you can then call   formattedString    currentTime- gt format   c       See the manual page here

The DateTime class takes a string in the constructor  If you prefix the timestamp with a  -character you create a DateTime object with the timestamp  For formating use the  c  format     a predefined ISO 8601 compound format  If could use the DateTime class like this     set the right timezone or leave it out if you want a UTC time   dt   new DateTime   1333699439     dt- gt setTimezone new DateTimeZone  America New York     echo  dt- gt format  c      https   www php net manual en book datetime php https   www php net manual en datetime format php more examples and timezones https   time einfach jetzt  t 1333699439
