Hmmm, I'm actually having problems going in the other direction. I have a unix timestamp that I'm getting via PEAR::Date's getTime function, and putting that into a dateTime type like so: $soap_date = new SOAP_Type_dateTime($date->getTime()) Then I return it as a dateTime in my SOAP method via: return new SOAP_Value('time','dateTime',$soap_date->toString()) And the resulting timestamp is always one hour ahead of the actual time. Now at first I thought this problem had to do with SOAP's dateTime type, but then I discovered that doing the same thing with the Date object like: $test_date = new Date($date->getTime()) Also yielded the same result. Now I'm wondering it if it's a problem with getTime(). I'm going to do a little desk check today and see if I can get to the bottom of it. -Javier -----Original Message----- From: Mike Carter [mailto:mikeatwork@ukonline.co.uk] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 2:09 AM To: 'Javier Muniz'; soap@lists.php.net Subject: RE: problem with SOAP's date/time type > -----Original Message----- > From: Javier Muniz [mailto:jmuniz@granicus.com] > > It looks like the dateTime type in the SOAP library might be > reporting times an hour ahead of the actual time.

And nobody really said anything when I posted about it here :-( However, I've kinda got it sorted now (I think). It all depends on how you go about using the class to convert from UTC->timestamp. This works:- $dateTimeObj = new SOAP_Type_dateTime; $_SESSION['auth']['ldate'] = $dateTimeObj->toUnixtime($User->LastLoginDateTime); Regards, Mike c ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
