The Unix Timestamp Converter has been modified. It now not only converts timestamps to dates, but also converts dates to timestamps.

Please let me know if you have any trouble using it.

very nice! You can also use it to find out what day of the week a certain date was on...I entered my birthday, then entered the resulting timestamp..and what d'ya know, it was a sunday!

You don't even need to do that. Just enter your birthday in the date to timestamp zone, and you'll see the day of the week appear, like this:

Would it be possible to use this tool to run a bulk job i.e. get it to query a text file of dates and output them into a new text file in UNIX time stamp format?

Yes, as I've said before all this script does is use PHP's date functions. So it wouldn't be too difficult to write your own script.

i'm sure a lot of people new to php would appreciate the source to your script though Smile

<tr><td class="row1" align="center">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="stamp" />
<?

if ($_GET['action']=='stamp') {
$date = gmdate('l\, F j\<\s\u\p\>S\<\/\s\u\p\> Y\, G:i:s', $_GET['stamp']);
if ($date && isset($_GET['stamp'])) {
echo ('<p style="border-style: dashed; border-width: 1px; border-color: #330066; background-color: #C0C0C0; padding: 5px; margin: 5px">'.$_GET['stamp'].' translates to <strong>'.$date.' (GMT)</strong></p>');

I wanted to register and say thanks but this software doesn't like me much lol

phpBB sure has one hell of an annoying sign-up system, i tried several times and am still not registered.

The reg code leaves a bit to be desired, for example your 0 and the O, no real indication of which one is which lol, anyway i'll try and register again later. As i seem to have made it mad Wink

Enter the code exactly as you see it. The code is case sensitive and zero has a diagonal line through it.
