GAH I KNOW.

I have been scouring google for a function that will let me do this.

I'm about to give up and write my own.

Actually, you can still use php's strtotime function. Just to a str_replace and replace the 'T' in the middle with a space and then parse it with strtotime.

strtotime will fail if the iso date contains a time zone offset (+01:00 or Z at the end of the string), sure these can be removed with a "substr" but then the time will be off... this can be corrected by parsing those last 5 characters, but already it seems as simple and more reliable to write your own parser. Anyone? ...
