Reminisce Active Member Apr 26, 2020 #1 Hello. On my backend I'm using Code: Copy $d=strtotime("now"); To get the current date and time in ticks. On b4a I'm using B4X: Copy 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.

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 Upvote 0

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. Upvote 0
