It was probably something entered into a database as a timestamp.

We know? That's why scoutt said don't use it. Because he's a bad programmer and cant stand to type a few extra lines just to format a data type, even though that data type is cooler. Poor scoutt.

/me agrees, the timestamp rocks

you have it all wrong. the idea is to code in the less lines as you can. that is why php is so good.
