#Particle ####Language: PHP ####64bits int Time Based ID Generator PHP implementation of Twitter Snowflake ID Generator

For high availability within and across data centers, machines generating ids should not have to coordinate with each other.

• PHP (tested on version 5.5.3)
• id (64 bits) is composed of:
  • time - 41 bits (millisecond precision w/ a custom epoch)
  • configured machine id - 10 bits - up to 512 machines
  • sequence number - 12 bits - up to 2048 random numbers

You should use NTP to keep your system clock accurate.

Change const EPOCH in particle class to today epoch time w/ miliseconds (13 digits)

	$machineID = 1; // Machine ID (aka Server ID no)
	
	Particle::generateParticle($machineID);

	$particleID = '4611692470816737853';
	
	Particle::timeFromParticle($particleID);
