Yes.  It douse the dateToString bit but how do I do the reverse.  I
can use it to convert a timestamp to a string but how do I convert a
string to a timestamp.

I must say i've used a few languages in my time and the PHP data/time
functions are a mess.  Generaly when you find a function to do
something to a data item there is an obvious way of reversing this
(i.e. it has a simeler name).  This douse not seem to be the case with
PHP;(
