Going from RFC2822 date to epoch

[The_Hat]

Is there any existing php function to take a RFC2822 date (such as Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:46:56 -0600) and convert it to epoch? Or do I just need to substr or explode it to convert it?

Derrrr.. $epoch = strtotime(RFC2822);

select unix_timestamp('valid mysql date here')?

You'd have to reformat it using mysql date/time functions . . .
