Can't you use the maketime function and just convert it over? I'm pretty sure there's a function that can give you the date in unix format. Check the php manual:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
It should be your new best friend!!

Everything seems to be formatting a unix timestamp... I want to do the opposite.. take a formatted date and produce a unix timestamp.. can't seem to find it.

Code: Select all
$date = "08-15-2008";
list($month, $day, $year) = explode("-", $date);
$date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
