PX_timestamp2string -- Convert paradox timestamp into formated string SYNOPSIS
#include <paradox.h> char * PX_timestamp2string(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, double timestamp, const char *format) DESCRIPTION
Creates a string representation of a paradox timestamp as specified in the parameter format. The timestamp must be either retrieved with PX_get_data_double(3) after calling PX_get_record(3) or by simply using the double value in the pxval_t struct as returned by PX_retrieve_record(3). A timestamp contains both time and date information. The format string contains chars which stand for certain values of the date/time. The following table lists all available characters with a meaning. All other characters are being copied unmodified to the output string. If a special character shall not be interpreted it must be preceded with a backslash. Characters and their meaning in date/time format string Character Meaning Y year, numeric, 4 digits y year, numeric, 2 digits m month, numeric n month, numeric, no leading zeroes d day of the month, numeric j T{ day of the month, numeric, no leading zeros T} H hour, numeric, 24 hour format h hour, numeric, 12 hour format G T{ hour, numeric, 24 hour format, no leading zeroes T} g T{ hour, numeric, 12 hour format, no leading zeroes T} i minutes, numeric s seconds, numeric A AM/PM a am/pm L boolean for leap year RETURN VALUE

Returns the formatted interval. NOTES
Note The DateInterval::format method does not recalculate carry over points in time strings nor in date segments. This is expected because it is not possible to overflow values like "32 days" which could be interpreted as anything from "1 month and 4 days" to "1 month and 1 day". EXAMPLES
Example #1 DateInterval example <?php $interval = new DateInterval('P2Y4DT6H8M'); echo $interval->format('%d days'); ?> The above example will output: 4 days Example #2 DateInterval and carry over points <?php $interval = new DateInterval('P32D'); echo $interval->format('%d days'); ?> The above example will output: 32 days Example #3 DateInterval and DateTime::diff with the %a and %d modifiers <?php $january = new DateTime('2010-01-01'); $february = new DateTime('2010-02-01'); $interval = $february->diff($january); // %a will output the total number of days. echo $interval->format('%a total days')." "; // While %d will only output the number of days not already covered by the // month. echo $interval->format('%m month, %d days'); ?> The above example will output: 31 total days 1 month, 0 days SEE ALSO
