I don't understand why it is doing this. any help would be apreciated.

Edit:

I just tried the same with the time and it is returning 6:33 PM instead of the 12:29 AM that it should be

the code for the time is

$myTime = date("g:i A",$time);

As Jaan said $news[4] needs to be a valid unix timestamp PHP: time - Manual. Also, when you call the time() function, it gets the time of the server which might be configured for a different timezone.

Ok thanx guys. I used a feature in phpMyAdmin to get the time on my sample fields, I asumed it was the corrrect format. Guess not. Thanks again y'all

Edit: That worked.
