plugin for converting strings to timestamps

if you ever import posts from facebook, and want the times from their open graph feeds to work as Drupal "published times" then you need to first convert the string to a time. Luckily that's pretty easy in PHP, so the plugin was super simple to write.

unfortunately i don't know how to roll a new patch... sorry!

  $form = array();
  $form['html'] = array(
    '#markup' => t('This will take a string containing an English date format and convert it into a Unix Timestamp.')
  );
  return $form;
}

  return 'Convert a string to a timestamp';
}

function feeds_tamper_strtotime_machine_name($settings) {
  return 'strtotime';
}

function feeds_tamper_strtotime_callback($source, $item_key, $element_key, &$field, $settings) {
  $field = strtotime($field);
}
