Hi guys,  
Is it possible to convert ISO 8601 date to Unix timestamp?  
[http://no2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php](http://no2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php)  
Also from c to U according to this table…

Note that I have everything in one variable so I cant for example use the mktime(). Unless someone knows a way to spilt something like this 2008-02-19T09:16:46-08:00 into pieces 😮

Ive searched google and the only results was on how to convert Unix timestamp into this, but I need it the other way…

Thanks.
