I Have a string that is equal to a date, represented as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch.
I am trying to output it into d-m-Y.
The string I was given was "1227643821310", and I am told that the result should be equal to 2-12-2008, but I keep getting a result of 25-11-2008
My code is as follows:
$mil = 1227643821310;
$seconds = $mil / 1000;
echo date("d-m-Y", $seconds);
Any ideas as to why this might be?
I should have thought of this earlier...easiest way would be to use the MySQL TIME() function to only select the time in the first place.
Just Try this Sample code:-
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
public class Test {
/**
* Main Method
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(getDate(82233213123L, "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss.SSS"));
}
/**
* Return date in specified format.
* @param milliSeconds Date in milliseconds
* @param dateFormat Date format
* @return String representing date in specified format
*/
public static String getDate(long milliSeconds, String dateFormat)
{
// Create a DateFormatter object for displaying date in specified format.
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat);
// Create a calendar object that will convert the date and time value in milliseconds to date.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(milliSeconds);
return formatter.format(calendar.getTime());
}
}
I hope this help...
print date('H:i');
$var = date('H:i');
Should do it, for the current time. Use a lower case h for 12 hour clock instead of 24 hour.
More date time formats listed here.
Start by converting your milliseconds to a TimeSpan:
var time = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(milliseconds);
Now, in .NET 4 you can call .ToString() with a format string argument. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timespan.tostring.aspx
In previous versions of .NET, you'll have to manually construct the formatted string from the TimeSpan's properties.
You are already doing it right, 1227643821 is simply not 02-12-2008, it is indeed 25-11-2008.
