nothing in the manual? http://php.net/manual/en/function.microtime.php saw a few. – Funk Forty Niner Oct 21 '15 at 20:50

this `$micro_date = microtime(); $date_array = explode(" ",$micro_date); $date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$date_array[1]); echo "Date: $date:" . $date_array[0];` seemed promising. – Funk Forty Niner Oct 21 '15 at 20:53

@Fred-ii- Sorry but I don't see how that is related. I need something like strtotime(date("Y-m-d 19:00:00")); but this is not working. – Anonymous Oct 21 '15 at 20:55

I said it "seemed promising" ;-) of course you'd have to add a few ingredients to the soup. See the answers you've been given. – Funk Forty Niner Oct 21 '15 at 20:57

Not a silly question, but not very well explained. Try again, maybe with an example of what you are actually trying to do – RiggsFolly Oct 21 '15 at 21:06

//set timezone to default
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
//this will give you the timestamp of today, 7:00:00 pm (which is 19 o' clock in 24hour system
$time = mktime(19,0,0);
you then can format the timestamp to whatever kind of format you need.

Have you tried making a DateTime object, then formatting it into unix time?
$dt = new DateTime('7:00pm');
echo $dt->format('U');
There are obviously more efficient ways to do it if you're not dealing with a string to begin with.
