Hello
Working with the graph API for business page in PHP, what's the best way to convert hours to usable?
JSON output now looks like this:
I believe these are the number of seconds since a specific point on the server, but how can I make these usable times?
Thank you.

So if two 9 am (0900) is 406800, and then zero time is Wednesday back at 4 pm (1600).
I'm still not sure how that can be converted to a usable format?

It is similar to the standard Unix times, despite the fact that the standard Unix times are the number of seconds since January 1, 1970. There are plenty of tools that work with it, but it depends on your language. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php for PHP, for example.

If someone is curious, I got the time I wanted to do something like:

If you have any suggestions for how to change order of II timezone, opens Wednesday (for shops that close for lunch), I will be grateful.
Meanwhile, my code is:

Only to provide additional information to those who might be interested, the Graph of Facebook API now includes the time for all possible opening hours, so you may need to adjust your code to reflect this. Now is the example:
