formatting date/time

[mattastic]

Hi,

Can anybody help me convert this mysql date time:

2006-05-15 09:00:00

into a unix timestamp, so I can format it with the php date function?

Thankyou

strtotime("2006-05-15 09:00:00");

does exactly what you need...

You might also want to have a look at strftime() as well, it's very useful when used with strtotime().
