Time Zone for LastUpdated field?

mattwright

Hi,

LastUpdated returns a time stamp, but no time zone is specified (for calls like albums.get and images.get). What time zone is this date/time generated in? Thanks,

Matt

Hey Matt,

Sorry about the delayed response.

All timestamps are in PDT.

Cheers,

David

David,

Can I request that you include the timezone in the returned LastUpdated field, so that php's strtotime() knows what timezone it is working with, and therefore automatically converts the timestam to align with the (remote) server's timezone.

This means we dont have to do it manually in the php code, and also means that the timestamp behaviour in the API is the same as the timestamp behaviour in the feeds (which do include a timezone).

Thanks

Actually, can I request you return a proper timestamp?

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822

so instead of 2009_03_17 05:02:42

perhaps

March 17 2009 05:02:42 PDT

Would be most appropritate?
