Arabic StrToTime Class

PHP class to parse about any Arabic textual datetime description into a Unix timestamp.

The function expects to be given a string containing an Arabic date format and will try to parse that format into a Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT), relative to the timestamp given in now, or the current time if none is supplied.

Example:

1.      date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
2.      $time = time();
3.  
4.      echo date('l dS F Y', $time);
5.      echo '<br /><br />';
6.  
7.      include('./I18N/Arabic.php');
8.      $obj = new I18N_Arabic('StrToTime');
9.  
10.      $int  = $obj->strtotime($str, $time);
11.      $date = date('l dS F Y', $int);
12.      echo "<b><font color=#FFFF00>Arabic String:</font></b> $str<br />";
13.      echo "<b><font color=#FFFF00>Unix Timestamp:</font></b> $int<br />";
14.      echo "<b><font color=#FFFF00>Formated Date:</font></b> $date<br />";
