Hello,
I post my question on the "Post installation" forum but, as I have not received any comments I will try this forum.
Initial post at http://drupal.org/node/416044

I need to insert posts in my drupal automatically, by sending UPDATE requests to the database. This is done by some java programs, drupal being used mainly to show the posts on the website. Everything is going well, only that I don't know how to create a drupal timestamp (the 11 characters long number representing a date) for a given date. The date I want to represent is always in the (recent) past.

Can annyone give me a clue, a link, with a description of that number (timestamp) format, or any php function that creates it from a given date.

Thanks,

esalagea

That was just a silly question, of course is just the unix time.
