JS microtime vs php microtime

Question

i'm using a plugin for a ganttchart. i feed the plugin with json: Plugin: GitHub - JQuery Gantt

{ "name": "Zbigniew Kowalski",
   "desc": "Administrator",
   "values": [
       {"from": "/Date(1310508000000)/", "to": "/Date(1311026400000)/", "desc": "<b>Type</b>: Task<br/><b>name</b>: Task 5<br/><b>Description</b>: Task desc."}
     ]
},

So if i try to generate such a block uhm i get some decent problems with the microtime.

microtime in php gives me: 0.77424900 1315815507 and time: 1315815507

but i need something like 1310508000000.

it can't be the key just to add some 0's ?

Answer 1

yu should use microtime(true) to geat a float-value and then multiply it by 1000 to get microseconds:

$time = microtime(true)*1000;

take a look at the documentation for more information.

Answer 2

in you JS you could do:

var timer = 1315815507;
var float = Math.round(parseInt(timer)/1000000)*1000000; 

this will give you: 1316000000

Answer 3

This is the way to construct a JavaScript date object from a PHP timestamp:

new Date('<?php echo date('r'); ?>');
