PHP: Convert uncommon date format to timestamp in most efficient manner possible?
<p>I have a date in this format: 20101101120000</p>

<p>I need to convert it to a timestamp with PHP.</p>

<p>I've been searching the PHP docs online, but can't find anything that can convert directly.  Does one exist?  If not, what's the most efficient way to do the conversion?  Thank you for your help.</p>
