Well if you have a consistent format (like Month Day, FullYear) then you could do this: function get_unix_stamp($date) { $months = array('Jan' => 1,'Feb' => 2, 'Mar' => 3,'Apr' => 4, 'May' => 5,'Jun' => 6, 'Jul' => 7,'Aug' => 8, 'Sep' => 9,'Oct' => 10, 'Nov' => 11,'Dec' => 11); $foo = explode(' ',$date); $month = $months[$foo[0]]; $day = str_replace(',',$foo[1]); $year = $foo[2]; return mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year); } --Joe On Fri, Mar 02, 2001 at 06:58:45PM -0500, Fang Li wrote: > Hi, All, > I am stucked here.Would you please help as soon as you can? > > LiveDate = "Mar 12,2001" > > how to convert it to a int? > > mktime(0,0,0,?,?,?) > Because the LiveDate is changable, I could't put a 3,12,2001 in the mktime. > > Thanks a lot. > > Fang > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Stump, PHP Hacker, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -o) http://www.miester.org http://www.care2.com /\\ "It's not enough to succeed.
