var date   new Date  2012 08 10    var unixTimeStamp   Math floor date getTime     1000     In this case it s important to return only a whole number  so a simple division won t do   and also to only return actually elapsed seconds  that s why this code uses Math floor   and not Math round

After comparing timestamp with the one from PHP  none of the above seems correct for my timezone  The code below gave me same result as PHP which is most important for the project I am doing    x000D   x000D  function getTimeStamp input    x000D      var parts   input trim   split       x000D      var date   parts 0  split  -    x000D   var time    parts 1    parts 1     00 00 00   split       x000D   x000D      NOTE   Month  0   January - 11   December  x000D   var d   new Date date 0  date 1 -1 date 2  time 0  time 1  time 2    x000D   return d getTime     1000  x000D    x000D   x000D     USAGE   x000D  var start   getTimeStamp  2017-08-10    x000D  var end   getTimeStamp  2017-08-10 23 59 59    x000D   x000D  console log start     -     end   x000D   x000D   x000D    I am using this on NodeJS  and we have timezone  Australia Sydney   So  I had to add this on  env file   TZ    Australia Sydney    Above is equivalent to   process env TZ    Australia Sydney

parseInt  new Date  2012 08 10   getTime     1000  toFixed 0     It s important to add the toFixed 0  to remove any decimals when dividing by 1000 to convert from milliseconds to seconds    The  getTime   function returns the timestamp in milliseconds  but true unix timestamps are always in seconds

You can use Date parse    but the input formats that it accepts are implementation-dependent  However  if you can convert the date to ISO format  YYYY-MM-DD   most implementations should understand it   See Why does Date parse give incorrect results
