Needed to use this recently to create a specificity parameter for an API at work, it gives you a key\/value array from an ISO date string regardless of what is actually set in the string (e.g. if you give 2011-06-07 04 you’ll get an array back as array(‘year’=>2011, ‘month’ => 6, ‘day’ => 7, ‘hour’ => 4). If you enter 2011-06-07 04:43 you’ll get: array(‘year’=>2011, ‘month’ => 6, ‘day’ => 7, ‘hour’ => 4, ‘minute’ => 43), works from just a year all the way to seconds.<\/p>\n
