So I was using the php function php_decode to convert a JSON encoded data result from a web service (More on that later) But it was choking on the JSON formated data result. Why? well, the C# library that I was using to generate the JSON data encoded a DateTime object as
TimePosted: new Date(1221571632000),
javascript picks up on the new Date function, but not PHP. so I had to switch the JSON data result to return the date as a string
TimePosted: 9/16/2008 1:27:12 P....
