strtotime
Synopsis
int strtotime(stringtime
[, inttimestamp
])
Converts an English description of a time and date into a Unix
timestamp value. Optionally, a timestamp
can be given that the function uses as the “now” value; if this value
is omitted, the current date and time is used. Returns false
if the value could not be converted
into a valid timestamp.
The descriptive string can be in a number of formats. For example, all of the following will work:
echo
strtotime
(
"now"
);
echo
strtotime
(
"+1 week"
);
echo
strtotime
(
"-1 week 2 days 4 seconds"
);
echo
strtotime
(
"2 January 1972"
);
