[Gambas-user] About php timestamp

[nando]

Generally, PHP dates and times are stored as a string
unless you're specifically dealing with the
Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT)

A quick idea...something like...

unix / 86400  = #days
#days / 365.25 = # years since 1970
#years +1970 is the actual year
The remainder is the number of days in the year..
convert to months
<=31 is Jan
<=31+28 is Feb,  Day is remainder - 31
<=31+28+31 is March,  Day is remainder -31 - 28
<=31+28+31+30 is April,  Day is remainder -31-28-31
...continue for all months
...the remainder is less than 86400 which is the seconds in a day
/ 24 for hours
/ the remainder for minutes
and the remainder is seconds

Hope it helps
-Fernando
