Date to Timestamp?

[eluser]zeedy2k[/eluser]
Anyone able to tell me how I can convert DD/MM/YYYY to a Unix timestamp? I have looked everywhere and cant figure this out.

Thanks
Robert

You can explode it and mktime

Hi Robert,
You can achieve this by using mktime (as Seppo said) or strtotime functions:

Code:

$some_date = '22/05/2008';
$parts = explode('/', $some_date);

// using strtotime()
$timestamp = strtotime("{$parts[2]}-{$parts[1]}-{$parts[0]}");

// using mktime()
$timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $parts[1], $parts[0], $parts[2]);
