SamohtVII Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I was wondering how timestamps are written to integers and how I can extract the date from it so I can compare it with a date of my own. Basically I have a INT field in my database and it gets a timestamp put into it. How can I compare that timestamp to say a week later.So I have the timestamp 1365409603 which somehow equals the 8th of april 2013. How can I add seven days to this number and store that ina variable then say (if timestamp is 7 seven days away from variableTime) etc. Hope it wasn't too confusing.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The timestamp is the number of seconds since 1/1/1970. So increasing the time is just a matter of adding more seconds. There are 86400 seconds in one day (60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours), so you can add (86400 * 7) to increase the date by a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
