Is there a way to convert text dates to unix time format?

[schwim]

Hi there guys,

On one of my community sites, I recently switched from PHP Nuke to PostNuke. During the conversion, I noticed that PHP Nuke had a registration date format of "Mar 1, 2001" and the PostNuke has a registration date format of "983620800", so I wiped all of the users' registration dates, and they inherited the date of the new system start.

I still have the old database with all the old date formats in it. Is there a way to convert "Mar, 1, 2001" into "983620800"?

thanks,
json

I'd start with mktime(). You'll need to break up your date and then have mktime do the rest.

You could use strtotime()
