Changing between times

[Iain Adams]

hey
does anyone know to convert a time string in the form
dd-mm-yyyyThh:mm:ss i.e 2006-08-01T15:45:11-00:00 to a normal unix time
stamp or something that at least I can use to compare to a unix
timestamp.

Hope that makes sense

$string = '2006-08-01T15:45:11-00:00';
$timestamp = strtotime($string);

$timestamp = strtotime($string);

Don't you mean the datatimestring should be '2006-08-01T15:45:11' instead of
'2006-08-01T15:45:11-00:00'?

If yes:
list($date,$time) = explode('T',$string);
list($year,$month,$day) = explode('-',$date);
list($hour,$minute,$second) = explode(':',$time);
$time = mktime($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year);

If not:
list($date,$time) = explode('T',$string);
list($year,$month,$day) = explode('-',$date);
$time = substr($time,0,8);
list($hour,$minute,$second) = explode(':',$time);
$time = mktime($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year);
