Your problem is that you are passing in all of $worklogt4 to the date
function, and that *BEGINS* with the first date/time, and that's what PHP
uses.
You need to FIRST break up your single line into separeate lines, based on
the 10-digit time-stamps.
Something like:
$lines = split('[0-9]{10,10}', $worklogt4);
But then I'm not sure you get to keep the date/time -- I never use split
much, myself...
