I'm not sure if you're asking how to *format* a date or how to *parse* a
date. If you want to format a date, given a timestamp, use either the
date() function or the strftime() function. If you want to parse a date,
given a string, use either the strtotime() function or the strptime()
function.

Ah! I understand now. What you want to do is parse the European-style
string using strptime().
Here's a code example:
<?php
$formattedDate = '06/09/2012 - 23:50';
define('LOCAL_DATE_FORMAT', '%d/%m/%Y - %R');
// Break apart the date.
$dateArray = strptime($formattedDate, LOCAL_DATE_FORMAT);
$reformattedDate = sprintf('%04d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:00', $dateArray['tm_year'] + 1900, $dateArray['tm_mon'] + 1, $dateArray['tm_mday'], $dateArray['tm_hour'], $dateArray['tm_min']);
?>

Use strtotime () to convert the above into seconds.

In this case, strptime() and strftime() should be used instead because, in
contrast to strtotime() and date(), they observe the current locale (note
the German month name above), and you get to choose the supported format
with strptime(), so there are no ambiguities with parsing.
Because in the US-American date format the month comes first (MM/DD/YYYY),
strtotime() will return the timestamp for 2012-06-09 23:50, and _not_
2012-09-06 23:50 as it was probably intended, considering today's date.
That is, if, and only if, the hyphen is removed before; else it returns
FALSE because that is not one of the formats supported by it. Tested with
PHP 5.3.10-1 (cli) (built: Feb 3 2012 10:03:01).
Both of those PHP functions are available on all platforms; strftime() since
PHP 4, strptime() since PHP 5.1.

OK, bad example. It's not German here, for the weekday is in English. But
you see my point:
