What is the value in $date before calling the date() function? Where is it coming from? Is it a string or int?

the value is 1332092255.  it comes from mysql database.  i have it listed as varchar there.  not sure that that should affect it though.

The PHP reference manual lists the argument as an int, so storing it as a varchar would defintely cause a problem in that regard. However, the error message is confusing, making it sound like it would accept a string value. I'm not sure how to interpret that.  Why are you storing it as a varchar in the first place? It's a numeric value and should be stored as such. For a quick test, try casting it as an int

$date = date('D, d M Y H:i:s', (int)$date);
