bubblegum.anarchy Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Here is a site that details what a unix timestamp is: http://www.unixtimestamp.com/ Simply put a unix time is the amount of seconds since an epoch (a particular point in time), the epoch is defined by the unix system is 1970-01-01 00:00:00, so the a function call to unix_timestamp() return the number of seconds that has passed since 1970-01-01 00:00:00. The unix timestamp is an effective way to sort dates. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46982-solved-unix_timestamp/#findComment-229115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
