Hours  minutes and seconds depend on the time zone of your operating system  In GMT  UST  it s 22 00 00 but in different timezones it can be anything  So add the timezone offset to the time to create the GMT date   var d   new Date    date   new Date timestamp 1000   d getTimezoneOffset     60000

var newDate   new Date    newDate setTime unixtime 1000   dateString   newDate toUTCString      Where unixtime is the time returned by your sql db  Here is a fiddle if it helps   For example  using it for the current time     x000D   x000D  document write  new Date   toUTCString      x000D   x000D   x000D

getDay   returns the day of the week  To get the date  use date getDate    getMonth   retrieves the month  but month is zero based  so using getMonth   1 should give you the right month  Time value seems to be ok here  albeit the hour is 23 here  GMT 1   If you want universal values  add UTC to the methods  e g  date getUTCFullYear    date getUTCHours     var timestamp   1301090400  date   new Date timestamp   1000   datevalues        date getFullYear       date getMonth   1     date getDate       date getHours       date getMinutes       date getSeconds       alert datevalues       gt   2011  3  25  23  0  0
