Category: Parsing Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed >Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Assigned to: Martin Geisler (mgeisler) Summary: Incorrect UNIX/Julian conversion Initial Comment: In the class PelEntryTime, the conversion taking place between the Julian calendar and a UNIX timestamp is not always correct. For example, should you get the value of the time as a UNIX timestamp (hereby referred to as t) and add a number of seconds to it, and then set the value to the new value -> setValue(t+x), then the Julian conversion can be incorrect if the addition of X makes the time roll over into the next day (i.e. from 11:59pm on 01/01/2007 to 12:01am on 01/02/2007). The time will be correct, but the day will be one day behind (giving you 01/01/2007 12:01am). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin Geisler (mgeisler) Date: 2007-04-24 20:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1264592 Originator: NO Thanks for reporting this! It turned out to be a timezone-problem. I used the unixtojd() function which interprets the timestamp according to the local timezone. Simply subtracting the timezone offset is almost enough to fix this, but not quite: a timestamp such 600 meaning Jan 1st 1970 00:10:00 becomes -3000 in my normal timezone. But unixtojd() cannot handle negative timestamps! It turned out to be easier to use the PHP implementation jdtounix(). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=650322&aid=1699489&group_id=108380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
