[PHP] timestamp from uniqid()
Would there be a way to extract a timestamp from uniqid(), since the function is based on the microsecond, and its purpose is not to be random in anyway, simply unique. I understand that it is not supposed to act as a timestamp, just wondering if anyone has a method of extracting a date or time from a uniqid.

If you want the microsecond use microtime(). Justin on 02/04/03 8:44 PM, Sebastian ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: may i ask what is it that your trying to do?
