时间总是像服务器上的E + 12（浮点数）

Question

I'm having the problem that when I output time()*1000 on my server I get result equal to 1.428653092E+12. Locally I get a result like this: 1428653334000.

Now when I want to POST it with curl to an API (Bullhorn API) I get an error that the data type is not correct (should be timestamp). This only happens on the server and not locally. So this has to do with the notation of my date field that I try to save ... .

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

you can remove scientific notation by using

sprintf:

<?php 

    $value = time()*1000;
    echo $test = sprintf('%f',$value); // this will return in float data always

?>
