note 9432 modified in strtotime by jmcastagnetto

[Editor's note: MySQL does have a function to handle the conversion UNIX_TIMESTAMP (read the MySQL manual for more details). So, in reality there is no need to do a post-query manipulation in this case, just ask for "SELECT ..., UNIX_TIMESTAMP(datetime_field) ..."] Here is a 1 line trick to convert a MySQL time into a timestamp : $time = mktime( substr( $sqltime, 0, 2), substr( $sqltime, 3, 2)); Simple, but i didn't find it in the suggestions ! http://www.php.net/manual/function.strtotime.php
