If your PHP version is lower than 5.3 then you can use this class to be able to use the functions "setTimestamp" and "getTimestamp":
<?php
class MyDateTime extends DateTime
{
public function setTimestamp( $timestamp )
{
$date = getdate( ( int ) $timestamp );
$this->setDate( $date['year'] , $date['mon'] , $date['mday'] );
$this->setTime( $date['hours'] , $date['minutes'] , $date['seconds'] );
}
public function getTimestamp()
{
return $this->format( 'U' );
}
}
$date = new MyDateTime();
$date->setTimestamp( $someTimestamp );
echo $date->format( 'd/m/Y H:i:s' );
?>
DateTime::setTimestamp
date_timestamp_set
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0)
DateTime::setTimestamp -- date_timestamp_set — Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp
Descrizione
Stile orientato agli oggetti
Stile procedurale
Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp.
Elenco dei parametri
-
oggetto -
Solo per lo stile procedurale: Un oggetto DateTime restituito da date_create(). La funzione modifica questo oggetto.
-
unixtimestamp -
Unix timestamp representing the date.
Valori restituiti
Restituisce l'oggetto DateTime per il metodo chaining o FALSE in caso di fallimento.
Esempi
Example #1 DateTime::setTimestamp() example
Stile orientato agli oggetti
<?php
$date = new DateTime();
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "\n";
$date->setTimestamp(1171502725);
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "\n";
?>
Stile procedurale
<?php
$date = date_create();
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "\n";
date_timestamp_set($date, 1171502725);
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "\n";
?>
The above examples will output something similar to:
1272508903 = 2010-04-28 22:41:43 1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
Note
Using the Unix timestamp format to construct a new DateTime object is an alternative when using PHP 5.2, as shown in the example below.
Example #2 DateTime::setTimestamp() alternative in PHP 5.2
<?php
$ts = 1171502725;
$date = new DateTime("@$ts");
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "\n";
?>
Il precedente esempio visualizzerĂ qualcosa simile a:
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25

- DateTime::getTimestamp() - Gets the Unix timestamp
When the exact time is important then it is important to note the difference between this and the UnixTimeStamp. The function will change the timestamp if necessary to take into account the daylight savings time.
e.g. Working with the 'Europe/London' timezone and setting the DateTime object to a timestamp of 1288486753 will result in the function automatically altering it to 1288490353.
This is because it is taking the fall time instead of the summer time (they will both be Sun, 31-Oct-2010 01:X:Y (I didn't check the hour and minute)).
Sincerely,
