DATETIME or UNIX TIMESTAMPS?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello list,

I've always used Unix Timestamps until now, but lately I've reading about
MySQL's datetime datatype and its benefits (dates before 1970, after 2030,
SQL functions to deal with them, etc). However, I don't see much support for
them in the PHP API. I'm also a Flash programmer and the Flash 8 API Date
datatype also only understands unix timestamps. Taking this into account,
I'm not really sure if it really worths it to "move" to the DATETIME
datatype. What would you do? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Marcelo.
