ok, how can i convert a date which is inputted in three parts (day, Month, year) into unix time?

i know i can use date(d/m/y, $unixtime) to convert to 25/03/1992 like that and then i could explode it to use the parts sepertaly but how can i do the reverse?

The mktime() function is what you are looking for See below for more details

It's quite hard to use, but once you get the hang on it, it's like second nature.

ok so would i have to use something like


$unix_time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $mnth, $date, $year);
and to convert it back i could use

date('m/d/y', $unix_time);

Yes?

i asume $date is the day .... then that code seems corect
