I've been trying to use the following approach, without success: function read_data($filename) { $f = fopen($filename, 'r'); while ($d = fgetcsv($f)) { $format = 'd/m/Y h:i:s'; $dt = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $d[0]); $data[] = array(strtotime($dt), $d[1]); //convert date/time } fclose($f); return $data; } Obviously I'm not getting the $format line right, as the resulting $dt values are empty. (I have previously used this reading process successfully with better behaved date and time strings). Advice appreciated. DNI'm late to the party, but strtotime works great, though you need to give it what it expects: $ts = strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', $date));
Thanks, Shawn, that's a bit more elegant! I'll give it a go. I didn't know how to do the str_relace bit. Thanks
