PHP date showing weird year/date from timestamp

I have the following timestamp: 

1341111034380

Which equates to:

Sun, 01 Jul 2012 02:50:34 GMT

However, when I try to format this using:

date("F j, Y, g:i a", 1341111034380)

I get:

February 12, 44468, 5:53 am

Any ideas why it would do this?

use:

echo date("F j, Y, g:i a", substr(1341111034380, 0, 10));

You have the wrong units.

1341111034380 is in milliseconds, whereas a proper timestamp is in seconds, which is what PHP expects.

If you want to use it in PHP, you should convert it to seconds.

echo date("F j, Y, g:i a", floor(1341111034380/1000));
