I am trying to parse what I believe to be a UTC date, my PHP code seems to output
/Date(1392233400000+0000)/
which I can't seem to find any way of turning into a date and time.

its part of an API. The best I can show is the API example http://developer.seatwave.com/API/method/GetEventByID?apiName=discovery – RouthMedia Feb 12 '14 at 20:39

1Looks like a unix timestamp in thousandths of a second: split on the "+", take the first part and divide by 1000, then treat as a unix timestamp – Mark Baker Feb 12 '14 at 20:52

Thanks everyone. I have been searching for that format with limited results. That seems to do the trick – RouthMedia Feb 12 '14 at 21:06

Your API is offering you the information in two ways. As JSON objects or XML. Your example is from the JSON part. See this question on how to correctly parse it with PHP.
Looks like that in the XML form the date is already in the "usual" UTC format. So You could also parse the XML data if you prefer.
