Saving timestamp in mysql table using php

Question

I have a field in a MySQL table which has a timestamp data type. I am saving data into that table. But when I pass the timestamp (1299762201428) to

Answer 1

Some things to clarify:

• MySQL timestamp field type doesn't store unix timestamps but rather a datetime-kind value.
• UNIX timestamp is a number of a regular int type.
• The timestamp you're talking about is not a regular unix timestamp but a timestamp with milliseconds.

therefore the correct answer would be

$timestamp = '1299762201428';
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', substr($timestamp, 0, -3));
