Converting timestamp

[steven s]

This is actually something for PhotoPost Classfieds.
I think I have a better chance here getting a hand here.
I added this to a rss script
enddate is the ending timestamp of the ad
// expiration date
if ( !empty($data['enddate']) ) $data['enddate'] = "<br /><br />Expires: ". $data['enddate'];and$item->description = "$thumb<br /><br />Posted by: ". $data['user'] . $data['description']. $data['enddate'];
As written it posts the *nix timestamp.
I have used $newenddate = formatppdate($enddate) in another place but don't know how to reformat enddate here.

For vBulletin, converting TIMESTAMPS to readable strings is done with the vbdate() function. Documentation can be found in both the API at

members.vbulletin.com/api/

or in functions.php.

Thanks but I was hoping for a php function, not something unique to vB or PhotoPost classifieds.

PHP's date (http://www.php.net/date) function is then what you are looking for.
