Linux timestamp to PHP

I have the following timestamp:

1342259667654

which when converted with http://www.epochconverter.com/ gives:

Assuming that this timestamp is in milliseconds:
GMT: Sat, 14 Jul 2012 09:54:27 GMT
Your time zone: 14. juli 2012 11:54:27 GMT+2

And that is the correct time, but when using:

echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", 1342259667654);

I get the following date:

1904-07-24 10:22:47

How can I get with PHP the exact date out of this time stamp?

$timestamp = 1342259667; 
$dt = new DateTime("@$timestamp");  // convert UNIX timestamp to PHP DateTime
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

You can also do it this way.

The value 1342259667654 is actually in miliseconds, while PHP's date() function is unable to handle miliseconds value. Hence the weird output.

Your timestamp needs to be divided by 1000:

echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", 1342259667654/1000);
