I dig PHP's handy date() function that allows you to format a date string out of a timestamp. But I have a project where it would be very useful if I could reverse generate a timestamp from a date/time. For example, I input something like "10/20/2004 12:01:00 PM" and the script generates the corresponding Unix timestamp.

Anyone know how to do this with PHP?
