Question

Does anyone know what date/time stamp format is in the following url (this is the stamp i believe: 1350619200000)?

I’m hoping to use PHP to convert the current day/time stamp to this format so that i can create a current link so the user is always brought to today’s date and time for scheduling.

It’s called timestamp format(among programmers). look at the manuals strtotime and date in PHP to get your desired format.

If you plan to use PHP, this is how you go about it,

 $timestamp = 1350619200000; 
 echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp/1000); 

Getting today’s date/time as timestamp, time manual

  //multiply by 1000 to be used in javascript
  echo time() * 1000; //gives current time in timestamp format, ie. since Jan 1, 1970.
