PHP TIME converting?

Question

I have something in my database that shows the time when the users who signed up on my recorded .. When the person makes the user saves the script (time ();) currently in the database under the variable name "REGTIM".

If I use echo to print it out, I get for example:

1375202508

How can I make this a date if it is possible? or for example as mentioned below.

for example: 08/06/2013 2:11

Answer 1

You could have got the answer to that with a little bit of searching. But here you go:

echo date('m/d/Y h:m', 1375202508); // 07/30/2013 10:07 -- 12-hour format
echo date('m/d/Y H:m', 1375202508); // 07/30/2013 22:07 -- 24-hour format

See the documentation for more options: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Answer 2

You can use date() function with timestamp mention in the second argument,

date ( string $format [, int $timestamp = time() ] )

or in your case:

date('m/d/Y H:m', 1375202508);

Answer 3

that's probably just a unix timestamp, so use FROM_UNIXTIME() and DATE_FORMAT() to do the conversion/formatting inside your query, or use date() in PHP to work with the timestamp directly.

eg

echo date('d/m/Y h:m', $timestamp)

or

SELECT DATE_FORMAT('%d/%m/%y %h:%m', FROM_UNIXTIME(REGTIM))
