Is it possible to get UNIX time from such date 2011-02-27 02:04:46? [duplicate]

Mktime and other functions give wrong answer for such a date like 2011-02-27 02:04:46;

Just use the strtotime() function, or the DateTime class.

Both the two following portions of code :

echo strtotime('2011-02-27 02:04:46');

$dt = new DateTime('2011-02-27 02:04:46');
echo $dt->format('U');

Will give you the same output :

1298768686

Use strtotime

$time = '2011-02-27 02:04:46';
strtotime($time);

This will also work (if you need this to run from the unix shell):

date +%T

This will show the time like:

14:20:18
