The timestamp is created within MySQL and means 17:36:54 on 13th
February 2001. I suppose I was wrong in assuming that this is Unix
format? In which case, is there a way I can process such a date from
MySQL directly using a command like strftime() or date()? Or is it an
uncommon timestamp format to have to process?
If there isn't a way of processing this with a simple command I'll admit
defeat and use substrings ;-)
Thanks again.
