Recipe 3.3. Converting an Epoch Timestamp to Time and Date Parts


3.3.1. Problem

You want the set of time and date parts that corresponds to a particular epoch timestamp.

3.3.2. Solution

Pass an epoch timestamp to getdate( ): $time_parts = getdate(163727100);.

3.3.3. Discussion

The time parts returned by getdate( ) are detailed in Table 3-1. These time parts are in local time. If you want time parts in another time zone corresponding to a particular epoch timestamp, see Recipe 3.11.
