This how to covert timestamp to date very simple:

echo date('m/d/Y', 1299446702);

to convert timestamp to human readable format try this:

function unix_timestamp_to_human ($timestamp = "", $format = 'D d M Y - H:i:s')
{
   if (empty($timestamp) || ! is_numeric($timestamp)) $timestamp = time();
   return ($timestamp) ? date($format, $timestamp) : date($format, $timestamp);
}

$unix_time = "1251208071";

echo unix_timestamp_to_human($unix_time); //Return: Tue 25 Aug 2009 - 14:47:51

if you want to convert it to a format like this: 2008-07-17T09:24:17Z than use this method
