specific unix date stamp

[otuatail]

Hi. The time function does not take any argument  = int time ( void )
I need to get a stamp value for specific dates and tomes like

$stamp1 = time();
$stamp2 = time("1-1-2000");

Is there a function that can achive this please.

Desmond.

You could try and use [code=php:0]strtotime()[/code] which will convert a string representation of a date to a unix timestamp.

[code]
<?php

$stamp1 = time();
$stamp2 = strtotime("1 January 2000");

?>
[/code]
