<h1>Time Source</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
What source to use for the time. This can be (for now) either the local system (System) or database (Database).<br />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is useful when your database is not on the same system as your webserver or your <?php echo get_product_name();?> servers.
|
|
In that case any time difference will miscalculate the time differences and timestamps.
|
|
You should use NTP to sync all your <?php echo get_product_name();?> servers and your MySQL server.
|
|
By using these preferences you don't have to sync your webserver but it's still recommended.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Feel free to implement more sources (eg: ntp, ldap, $_SERVER...).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note: The database query will be cached the first time it's called so the time will always be the same on a page load throughout, while System time is returned whenever the function is called, which might differ slightly (especially near the ending of a second).

These examples are all returning Unixtime
|
|
<script type="text/javascript">
|
|
var date = new Date; // Generic JS date object
|
|
var unixtime_ms = date.getTime(); // Returns milliseconds since the epoch
|
|
var unixtime = parseInt(unixtime_ms / 1000);
|
|
</script>
|
|
</p>
