Hmmm,
    Sometimes that happens to me too, I cannot seem to isolate what causes
it however.  When I get that I use the PG to_char function in my statement
to convert the value to something I can use in PHP.  I wish I could provide
more information about why this is hit and miss.

for some reason I get:
Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:59:59 -0500
as output on any entry.

$rows = pg_num_rows($result);
// if records present
if ($rows > 0)
{
         // iterate through resultset
         for ($i=0; $i<$rows; $i++)
         {
                 $row = pg_fetch_object($result, $i);
$conv_date = date('r',strtotime($row->posted));
         ?>
                 <li><font size="-1"><b><? echo $conv_date; ?></b></font>
                 <br>
                 <font size="-1"><? echo $row->notes; ?></font>
                 <p>
         <?
         }
}
