I have a time_t variable containing a timestamp which I’d like to store in a database, so I need it as a string. How would I convert it?
Also, on the subject, how would I convert a timestamp string into a time_t variable?
Thanks,
Wyatt
Look at ctime, it takes a time_t and returns a string.
To make a timestamp from a string, look at mktime. Populate the fields of a struct tm and call mktime. It should return a time_t.
