john...

that appears to be it!! although i would have assumes it would have done a
most significant bit fill with 0's...

so my question also comes down to .. do i use the php date functions for
date/time manipulation.. or do i use the mysql functions....

any thoughts/suggestions...

Without knowing the structure of your table, my guess is that the column
time is expecting a valid timestamp, and 333333 is not a valid MySQL
timestamp.
