title: date() or format_date() returning 1970?
body: <p>I have a table with a date field, which is correctly populated.<br>
  When I do the following <code>&lt;?php print $mytable-&gt;date; ?&gt;</code> works fine; however, when I format it with <code>date()</code> or <code>format_date()</code> it just returns 01/01/1970.</p>
  
  <p>It's stored in an array before being put into an HTML table if that makes a difference.</p>
