ctime()

Method ctime

string ctime(int timestamp)

Description

Convert the output from a previous call to time() into a readable string containing the current year, month, day and time.

Like localtime , this function might throw an error if the ctime(2) call failed on the system. It's platform dependent what time ranges that function can handle, e.g. Windows doesn't handle a negative timestamp .
