Compare with:

to_time(form = :local)

Converts a Date instance to a Time, where the time is set to the beginning of the day. The timezone can be either :local or :utc (default :local).

date = Date.new(2007, 11, 10)  # => Sat, 10 Nov 2007

date.to_time                   # => 2007-11-10 00:00:00 0800
date.to_time(:local)           # => 2007-11-10 00:00:00 0800

date.to_time(:utc)             # => 2007-11-10 00:00:00 UTC

NOTE: The :local timezone is Ruby’s process timezone, i.e. ENV.

If the *application's* timezone is needed, then use +in_time_zone+ instead.

Parameters

form opt = :local
