Question

Hi i try to get current time as timestamp without success here is my code that returnes me Sunday, January 25th 1970, 03:17:35 (GMT)

QDateTime setTime = QDateTime::fromString (QString("1970-07-18T14:15:09"), Qt::ISODate);
QDateTime current = QDateTime::currentDateTime();
uint msecs = setTime.time().msecsTo(current.time());

 return  QString::number(msecs);

Answer 1

I think you are looking for this function:

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qdatetime.html#toTime_t

uint QDateTime::toTime_t () const

Returns the datetime as the number of seconds that have passed since 1970-01-01T00:00:00, > Coordinated Universal Time (Qt::UTC).

On systems that do not support time zones, this function will behave as if local time were Qt::UTC.

See also setTime_t().
