i understand how to get 1970 but anyone know how to get other years…like 1960

I wondered this myself; short of working “math” on the functions - I’m not seeing the “simple” way.

Because the time function works only from the year 1970, to get the number of seconds since 1960 you can do this:

  1. Get the number of seconds since 1970 - you already know how to do this;
  2. Calculate the number of seconds from 1960 to 1970, taking the leap years into account;
  3. Add the seconds.

Or, alternatively, you can use the mktime function.
