Date.getTime() returns milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970. Unixtime is seconds since Jan 1, 1970. I don't usually code in java, but I'm working on some bug fixes. I have: Date now = new Date(); Long longTime = new Long(now.getTime()/1000); return longTime.intValue(); Is there a better way to get unixtime in java? UPDATE Based on John...
I've been using the unix timestamp all my life. I like it because it's easy to compare, it's fast because I store it as an integer. And since I'm using PHP, I can get any date/time format with date() function from the unixtimestamp. Now, some people are saying that it's best to use the DATETIME format. But besides the more suited name,...
How would I go about finding the unix timestamp of midnight of the previous Wednesday? My only approach would be to get the day index and day number of today, and subtract the difference, but I can think of several scenarios where this would fail, for example, early in a month before a Wednesday has happened. I guess, more concisely, ho...
I'm looking for an efficient SQL Server function (in my case 2005) to convert a unix time value into a SQL Server datetime, using local time (particularly taking account of summertime adjustments - i.e not just adding 01/01/1970 in seconds) ...
How do I use Unix timestamps with the Doctrine Timestampable behavior? I found the following code snippet here, but I'd rather not manually add this everywhere: $this->actAs('Timestampable', array( 'created' => array('name' => 'created_at', 'type' => 'integer', 'format' => 'U', 'disabled' => false, 'options' => ar...
This seems like something no one should ever have to do, but I'm working on a kernel module for an embedded system (OpenWRT) in which it seems that time.h does include the timespec and time_t types, and the clock_gettime and gmtime functions, but does not include localtime, ctime, time, or, critically, the tm type. When I attempt to cas...

Is there a way to quickly / easily parse Unix time in C# ? I'm brand new at the language, so if this is a painfully obvious question, I apologize. IE I have a string in the format [seconds since Epoch].[milliseconds]. Is there an equivalent to Java's SimpleDateFormat in C# ? ...
I just want to clarify if I am understanding how dates & time zones work. Basically, I have a date string @"2008-07-06 12:08:49" that I want to convert to an NSDate. I want this date and time to be in whatever the current user's time zone is set in. So if they are in GMT or HST, it's still 12:08:49. If I have date in unix form 12153821...

I need to convert an existing (datetime fields) db from local time ut UTC. The values are stored ad datetimes on a server with time zone CET (+1) (with summertime +2). When selecting data I use UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), which magically compensates for everything, ie, time zone shift and dst (if i've read the docs right). I'm moving the db to a...

Is there a quick, one-line way to convert a unix timestamp to a date from the unix command line?

I'm looking for a way to do the reverse at the command line. 'Date' might work, e...
