am is before noon, not after..

This is what I would do:

$timeString = '2:30 am';
$dateString = '2013-07-17';
$timeZone = new DateTimeZone('Europe/London');
$date = new DateTime($dateString . ' ' . $timeString, $timeZone);

echo $date->format('H:i:s'); // 02:30:00
echo $date->getTimestamp(); // the timestamp as int

Have you tried to search in this site? :)

The second question has a really-similar one here: How to convert date to timestamp in PHP?

As for the first one, the answer is in the official php documentation: http://php.net/manual/es/function.date.php
