[PHPSTORM] Insert UNIX timestamp in PHP

[PHPSTORM] Insert UNIX timestamp in PHP

You want to insert a 10-digit UNIX timestamp (no microtime) into PhpStorm? Maybe we have the right thing for you.

If you want to set a TypeNum in TYPO3 or if you throw an exception, a current timestamp is very helpful. And if you don't want microtime, then Groovyscript can help in a live template. In the following example you can enter "ts" and the current timestamp will be inserted at the position of the cursor. If you click "Edit variables" in Settings / Live Template, you can insert GroovyScript:

groovyScript("(int) (System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000L);")
