在PHP中从ISO C时间戳转换为整数纪元

Question

I have a timestamp:

2009-01-31T00:00:00

to which I am appending '+00:00' in order to get it to ISO C, from which I would then like to get the epoch, so I can feed it to date('...', timestamp) and generate the format I'd like.

What's the best way to go about this. I don't want to have to extract/string manipulation of the original timestamp.

TIA

Answer, Thanks shamittomar:

date('n/j/Y', strtotime($v['node']->field_pub_date[0]['value'] . '+00:00'));

Answer 1

Use strtotime. It parses about any English textual datetime description into a Unix timestamp

echo strtotime('2009-01-31T00:00:00+00:00');

This will show you the epoch as 1233360000.
