[OpenSIPS-Users] Timestamp in date format

[Ben Newlin]

That function only uses the current time. As far as I know there are no generic time string format functions in OpenSIPS. The only options are to manipulate the current time only.

You could use exec or one of the language modules like python to do this. Or you could write to the XML as a timestamp and convert it outside of OpenSIPS. The latter would be my recommendation if possible.

Hi Ben,

found that as well, thank you.

Is there a way to add for example a week to the current datetime to have a datetime that can be used to say that something is valid until one week in the future?

If 2013-08-01T12:00:00Z is now then to have 2013-08-08T12:00:00Z

Thanks,
Xaled

You can use the $time variable.

$time("%Y-%m-%dT%TZ")

Hi,

I need to create a timestamp node in an XML body like shown below

<timestamp>2013-08-01T12:00:00Z</timestamp>

I know that there is a get_timestamp function but I need the result to be formatted as date.

BTW, is there a way to directly define XML item value using variable

Something like:
$xml(my_doc/doc/list) = "<item>$var(value)</item>";

Unfortunately it does not work like this

Thanks,
Xaled
