Re: Convert a timestamp to RFC822??

Usually you can use a function in your SELECT statement to change the 
format of your timestamp. In MySQL it's DATE_FORMAT [1]. Otherwise use 
PHP's Date and Time Functions [2]. You could for instance extract the 
"ingredients" of your database's timestamp with strptime [3] and 
reformat it with strftime [4].
