I am looking at my table (session), and checking out the data, for the session hash column I see strange numbers like these "79857fe54ba6af79e61cb23ff6af5ce6". Can anyone help me into figuring out what the exactly means? Is there a function I can run or something?

that's just the session ids which are used instead of cookies for users browsing your forums

It's a Unix Timestamp (seconds from Epoch).

Nope.

It's as said, a session ID. Which is an one-way encrypted MD5 string.

Thanks. I see that this variable: $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'] will get me a Unix Time stamp. How can I translate that time stamp into something readable?

With the date() function.

www.php.net/date

I tried that, but I don't know how to use the date() function to translate $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'] which produces a value of "1182368246" sometimes.

Look at the link I posted:

string date ( string $format [, int $timestamp] )

Which would be similar to:

$date = date('dS M Y, H:i:s', $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']);
