PHP date/time function not work properly?

Why the following two will get same Result??

echo date('d/m/Y',1338156000); will produce output 28/05/2012

And echo date('d/m/Y',1338143400); also produce the same out put 28/05/2012 ??

Yes Both will give the same date because time stamp is in seconds.if you print first like 

echo date("d/m/y h:i:s", 1338156000);

it will give you result like

28/05/2012 03:30:00

and

echo date('d/m/Y h:i:s',1338143400);

result is 

28/05/2012 12:00:00

for further reference check php date and time manual

Quite Simple

<?php 
    echo date('d/m/Y',1338156000); 
    echo "<br />";
    echo date('d/m/Y',1338143400); 
    echo "<br />";

    echo date('d/m/Y H:i:s',1338156000); 
    echo "<br />";
    echo date('d/m/Y H:i:s',1338143400); 
    echo "<br />";


?>

Here, when 27/05/2012 22:00:00 the day is: 27

and when 27/05/2012 18:30:00 the day is: 27

As stated by others, its the same date that's why the confusion. But if you simply add time to your own code along with the date your confusion will itself be gone without asking.

<?php
echo date('d/m/Y H:i:s',1338156000);
echo "<br>";
echo date('d/m/Y H:i:s',1338143400);
?>
