linux timestamp to date code example

Example 1: from datetime to unix timestamp

import time
import datetime
d = datetime.date(2015,1,5)

unixtime = time.mktime(d.timetuple())
unixtime

Example 2: convert stripe timestamp to date

let unix_timestamp = 1605404179
// Create a new JavaScript Date object based on the timestamp
// multiplied by 1000 so that the argument is in milliseconds, not seconds.
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000);
// Hours part from the timestamp
var hours = date.getHours();
// Minutes part from the timestamp
var minutes = "0" + date.getMinutes();
// Seconds part from the timestamp
var seconds = "0" + date.getSeconds();

// Will display time in 10:30:23 format
var formattedTime = hours + ':' + minutes.substr(-2) + ':' + seconds.substr(-2);

console.log(formattedTime);

Example 3: epoch

Epoch timestamp is a unit of measurement for time. It is the number of
seconds elapsed since the countdown has started. 

Beginning epochs per system:
macOS - January 1, 1904
Windows - January 1, 1601
Unix - January 1, 1970

Example 4: transform unix timestamp in date

//Our date string. The format is Y-m-d H:i:s
$date = '2019-04-01 10:32:00';

//Convert it into a Unix timestamp using strtotime.
$timestamp = strtotime($date);

//Print it out.
echo $timestamp;
