A little technical question in vBulletin

[Ahmed_Eissa]

Hi,

A little technical question in vBulletin:

I just add a thread today in vBulletin to try it, and when I check it in my browser (IE 6) it view the date correctly:

17th July 2007 13:33

But in the forum database it's stored like this:

1184669495

Please could anybody tell me please the way which is used to store the date in vBulletin and it's database?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Ahmed Eissa.

It is stored using the UNIX timestamp.

So when that message was posted TIMENOW was used
The numbers represents the number of seconds from a specific date (Jan. 1st 1970 I think)

When it is pulled from the database it is parsed like this

vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $somevariable]);

Hope that answers your question

Yes, that is correct, it is also commonly referred to as the Unix Epoch.
