NM ! I fixed it.
The revised code is as such:
Code:
$events = $DB_site->query ("SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() AS dateline, dateline_from, eventid, title
FROM event
WHERE dateline_from > dateline
ORDER BY dateline_from LIMIT 4");
Doh, but now it works great and with all unix time code (so I can manipulate it later in the script to the formats I want)
