How can I use PHP to get a UNIX timestamp like what I get from the JS method .getTime()? I seem to be having trouble since .getTime() returns milliseconds. I know I have to convert the timestamps first for JS to read it, but how can I do this?

Edit:

Agreed with the multiply by 1000, but why do I get this?:

timestamp: 1305593400
timestamp * 1000: 1.3055934E+12

timestamp: 1305612420
timestamp * 1000: 1.30561242E+12

timestamp: 1305635400
timestamp * 1000: 1.3056354E+12

timestamp: 1304901960
timestamp * 1000: 1.30490196E+12

timestamp: 1304944620
timestamp * 1000: 1.30494462E+12

UNIX timestamps are in seconds. Multiply by 1000.
