Convert timestamp with timezone to readable date

I want to convert the timestamp to readable format, timestamp: / Date (1434434419100-0400) / but not sure how to deal with it along with the timezone problem.

date('Y-m-d H:i:s', substr($editDate, -20, -7))

thank

With timestamp, do you mean Unix epoch time?

When working with times and dates, I always find something useful at http://www.epochconverter.com .

For PHP see Programming> Epoch in PHP

Using the function date

.

$epoch = 1340000000;
echo date('r', $epoch); // output as RFC 2822 date - returns local time
echo gmdate('r', $epoch); // returns GMT/UTC time

Using the class DateTime 



$epoch = 1344988800; 
$dt = new DateTime("@$epoch");  // convert UNIX timestamp to PHP DateTime
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // output = 2012-08-15 00:00:00

Time zone setting

If you are using PHP 5.1 or higher use date_default_timezone_set to set / unset your timezone. PHP timezone handling takes care of daylight saving time ( PHP timezone list ).

The value you give - 1434434419100-0400

is definitely not a standard formatted timestamp. See w3.org and wikipedia for an overview of what is considered standard. The closest I could find is that it is an epoch 1434434419

(i.e. Tue, June 16, 2015 06:00:19 GMT) plus 100-0400

. Don't know what it means 100

, but -0400

may indicate UTC-04: 00 .

First, set the time zone on the date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Helsinki");

second use echo date('m/d/Y H:i:s', 1299446702);

, where 1299446702

there istime();
