Example #1
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) example
Object oriented style
<?php
$date = new DateTime();
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
$date->setTimestamp(1171502725);
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "

echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
date_timestamp_set($date, 1171502725);
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above examples will output something similar to:
1272508903 = 2010-04-28 22:41:43
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
NOTES
Using the Unix timestamp format to construct a new DateTime object is an alternative when using PHP 5.2, as shown in the example below.
Example #2
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) alternative in PHP 5.2
<?php
$ts = 1171502725;
$date = new DateTime("@$ts");
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
