Get the correct hour for the UNIX timestamp

Question

I think this is a stupid question, but it seems that I can not find the answer.

I have this timestamp: 1295598602.

In my php script, I have:

$ date = date ('Ym-d', 1295598602); $ hour = date ('H', 1295598602). ': 00';

This returns:

Date: 2011-01-21
Hour: 03:00

Now I went to the online conversion site to check this out. I used this one . But it seems that for this timestamp value it is

Fri 21 Jan 2011 08:30:02 GMT

Now which one is correct?

Answer 1

Use the correct time zone:

>> date_default_timezone_get();
'UTC'
>> date('Y-m-d h:i:s',1295598602);
'2011-01-21 08:30:02'
>> date_default_timezone_set('CET');
true
>> date('Y-m-d h:i:s',1295598602);
'2011-01-21 09:30:02'
>> date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
true
>> date('Y-m-d h:i:s',1295598602);
'2011-01-21 08:30:02'

Answer 5

(),

timestamp is optional and the default value is time ().

And according to the description of the time function () , it returns a timestamp in time.

So, PHP does the conversion to your timezone, and onlineconversion.com does not.
