I wanna get a time stamp from this so that I can compare it to a site timestamp and get the username who entered the site. Does anyone think this is possible?

Of course it's possible, anything is possible with PHP! 🙂

I recommend taking a look at preg_match() and preg_replace(), those are the functions you'll need to accomplish this.

once you have used preg_match to break down the time and date to get each conponent e.g day,month,hour,etc you can use the mktime function to create a timestamp if thats what you are looking to do?
