Date issue

Hi,
I am running MySQL 4.0.14 with PHP 5.1.4.
I have a table where I'm writing a timestamp field with the now() variable.

When I try to read it (formatted or not), I get a weird date output Year
1933 or 1907.

Any specific setting I'm missing to output my date properly?

Thx in advance.

NOW() returns the current date and time in a specific format. If you are attempting to
modify that format, that may be your problem.

Re: Date issue

So there is absolutely no way to modify the format?

If I want to do so, what should I use?

Thx.

I'd use UNIX_TIMESTAMP() in mysql_database, and take care of the formatting
in PHP using strftime().
