Timestamp

This is useful for converting Wikimedia timestamps (yyyymmddhhmmss) to human readable format.

<?php

       $year = substr($timestamp, 0, 4);
       $month = substr($timestamp, 4, 2);
       $day = substr($timestamp, 6, 2);
       $hour = substr($rctimestamp, 8, 2);
       $minute = substr($rcstimestamp, 10, 2);
       $second = substr($rctimestamp, 12, 2);
       $date = date('M d, Y H:m:s', mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day, $year));

?>
