Android Question How to correctly parse ticks from PHP strtotime function.

Hello.
On my backend I'm using
PHP code: 
$d=strtotime("now");
To get the current date and time in ticks.
On b4a I'm using
B4X: 
Log(Datetime.getdayofyear(tickvalue))
This is returning the wrong date, month and year. I'm using xamp for my local server, and the php code echoes the correct date and time.

I think b4a doesn't understand this tick value.

You should use B4J to build the back end. Everything will be simpler.

What is the value of $d?

I appreciate your advice, the project requirement is php to be used as the backend..


$d = 1587970235
$d should return the current data and time.
$d is tick value I passed to b4a and it failed to parse it correctly. If I use an online tick to date converter, I get the correct date and time. For the above value, 1587970235 is the same thing as 4/27/2020, 7:50:35 AM

Log(Datetime.getdayofyear(tickvalue)) as at last night returns 19,which is wrong.. Because yesterday wasn't the 19th day of the year.

This is unix time ticks. DateUtils has methods to convert this value to B4X ticks.

Okay, great.. I'll check, so I presume after converting, it should returned the correct date and time. Another question is, I know the getdayofweek will return an integer, how do I convert that integer into the corresponding day of the week?
For example, i want to convert 1 to Monday, I don't want to wrote a separate sub for that.
