I have the following timestamp:
1342259667654
which when converted with http://www.epochconverter.com/ gives:
Assuming that this timestamp is in milliseconds:
GMT: Sat, 14 Jul 2012 09:54:27 GMT
Your time zone: 14. juli 2012 11:54:27 GMT+2
And that is the correct time, but when using:
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", 1342259667654);
I get the following date:
1904-07-24 10:22:47
How can I get with PHP the exact date out of this time stamp?

Simply put, the Unix timestamp is a way to track time as a running total of seconds. This count starts at the Unix Epoch on January 1st, 1970 at UTC. Therefore, the Unix timestamp is merely the number of seconds between a particular date and the Unix Epoch.
Definition and Usage. The strtotime() function parses an English textual datetime into a Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT). Note: If the year is specified in a two-digit format, values between 0-69 are mapped to 2000-2069 and values between 70-100 are mapped to 1970-2000.
In PHP, how to get the epoch timestamp, the number of seconds passed since the epoch? In PHP, you can use the time() function. ts = time(); To get the microsecond together too as a float number, use the microtime(true) function. ts2 = microtime(true);
The Task is to convert a Date to a timestamp using PHP. The task can be done by using the strtotime () function in PHP. It is used to convert English textual date-time description to a UNIX timestamp. The UNIX timestamp represents the number of seconds between a particular date and the Unix Epoch.
To do this in PHP, we can use the strtotime function like so: //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; //Our date string.
Sometimes, this timestamp is populated, but you can’t depend on the values in it. Linux timestamps hold a number rather than a date and time. This number is the number of seconds since the Unix epoch, which was midnight (00:00:00) on January 1, 1970, in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Our custom PHP function timeStampToDateTime takes a timestamp as first parameter, which could be the current timestamp or any other time stamp (maybe a timestamp from a db). It uses the timezone and format to return a human readable date time string.
Your timestamp needs to be divided by 1000:
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", 1342259667654/1000);
