PHP Unix Timestamp Strtotime Error

Question

I have a website that logs the date of an article posted as a timestamp and converts it to full date. Testing this on localhost works fine but on the live version it displays the date as:

31st December 1969

Here is the code that I'm using:

$article_added = $article["added"];
$article_added = date('l jS F Y', strtotime($article_added));

probably $article["added"] comes from the database and it has value 0 (or NULL or empty) in the live environment? — Carlos Campderrós

If $srticle['added'] is valid then I think it should work. see here — Roopendra

No the value is 1391610991, which I've tested on a unix converter too — user3177012

So if its already a timestamp then why are you using strtotime on it? — Hanky Panky

Your date is already a timestamp so no need to use strtotime()

$article_added = date('l jS F Y', $article["added"]);
