I've checked this in the PHP documentation and done a scan of the 
archive to try to work out where I am going wrong but have failed. I 
know I could fix this problem by using substrings and processing them, 
but PHP has a simpler function which should work. Shouldn't it?

In my database a record has a timestamp of:
20010213173654

I extract the timestamp with a select statement, and process it with:

strftime("%A, %e %B %Y", $lastmodified)  (where lastmodified is the
variable containing the timestamp)

and it produces the output:
Monday, 18 January 2038

Does anyone know why PHP isn't interpreting the timestamp correctly? I 
can't work out how it could misinterpret the timestamp like this...

Thanks for any help!
