Working with Php Dates

I am using Jax Calendar, a free php Calendar. I wanted to display the upcoming events on my front page, separate from the calendar module, but the date is stored as a text, something like “1096761600″, after much research, it was determined that this is the number of seconds since 1970. If you are using MS-Access & ODBC, you need a function like this to convert the string to a date.

`Function DatefromUnix(strIn As String) As Date

Dim lngSeconds As Long

lngSeconds = strIn

Dim datStart As Date

datStart = #1/1/1970#

Dim dblDays As Double

dblDays = lngSeconds / 60 / 60 / 24

DatefromUnix = dblDays + datStart

End Function`
