regex. and timestamp issue

[afail]

I wrote this:

$remrow['Work_Log'] = ereg_replace("11[0-9]{8}", date("c","\\0"), $remrow['Work_Log']);

Basically this should replace timestamps with a friendly date

Only I get this message:

Warning: date() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in D:\docssite\remedy.php on line


And no replacements

If I sub out \\0 with the actual timestamp, I see the friendly date

If I remove date(“c”,\\0) and replace it with \\0 I see the timestamp.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
