Frequently asked questions

What is a Unix timestamp?

The number of seconds since 1 January 1970 00:00 UTC. JavaScript and many APIs use milliseconds instead (13 digits).

What is the year 2038 problem?

Systems that store timestamps as signed 32-bit integers overflow on 19 January 2038. 64-bit integers (like PHP on 64-bit systems) are fine.
