Question

To get time I do this

$day_timmer = time()
echo $day_timmer;

This is what printsout 1332533147

But when I add to it I get this

$day_timmer = time() * 1000; 
echo $day_timmer;
This is what printsout 1.332533387E+12

No clue what I’m doing wrong.

So I get voted down for wondering why letters are in my numbers lol

Answer 1

That’s called scientific notation, and it’s all right. E+12 stands for 10¹² and in your case, this is exactly the given number:

1.332533387E+12 = 1.332533387 * 10^12 = 1,332,533,387,000
