Unix Time Javascript

Possible Duplicate: Convert a Unix timestamp to time in Javascript I am trying to return a formatted time from a unix time. The unix time is 1349964180. If you go to unixtimesta

Solution 1:

you could try this

function convert_time(ts) {
   return new Date(ts * 1000) 
}

and call it like so

console.log(convert_time(1349964180));

Solution 2:

Well, first of all you need to multiply by 1000, because timestamps in JavaScript are measured in milliseconds.

Once you have that, you can just plug it into a Date object and return the formatted datetime. You will probably need a helper function to pad the numbers (function pad(num) {return (num < 10 ? "0" : "")+num;}) and you should use the getUTC*() functions to avoid timezone issues.

Solution 3:

A UNIX-timestamp is using seconds whereas JavaScript uses milliseconds. So, you have to multiply the value by 1000:

var myDate  = new Date(1349964180 * 1000);
alert (myDate.toGMTString());
