Hi,

I'm using Saxon EE a-la Oxygen 11.2

I am using XSLT as part of a tool chain. It start's off in BASH, goes through an XSLT transformation (or 2), then finally ends up on a PHP web site.

What I want to do is let bash create a time stamp that will eventually be read by PHP, but I would like the XSLT transformation to also have access to the timestamp value and format it for logging or other purposes. There will be other consumers of the data and XSLT may be my last opportunity to format the time stamp information before it goes to one of the other consumer.

Is there a way to format unix time epoch information in XSLT?

If by "unix time epoch information" you mean the number of milliseconds since 1 Jan 1970, then try

xs:dateTime('1970-01-01T00:00:00') + $N * xs:dayTimeDuration('PT0.001S')

which returns an xs:dateTime value, which you can then format using format-dateTime()

Thanks Sam and Michael. Both of your suggestions were what I was looking for.
