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.

ah, i think i remember now... i had it set to varchar because when i had it set to int, it was cutting of characters, and i wasnt sure what was bigger than int, so i just used varchar.  what should i use for this field to make sure nothing gets cut off?


An unsigned int should do it.
