Yinksey: how can this code be improve.

/*
* convert datetime to UNIX timestamp
* @param $time date time formatted time
* which will be converted
* @return UNIX timestamp format for the
* supplied time
*/
function to_unix($time) {
// divide the the time into two sections date
//and time
$expl = explode(' ',$time);
//explode the date
$year = explode('-',$expl[0]);
//explode the time
$time = explode(':',$expl[1]);
// convert it into Unix timestamp using mktime function
$unix = mktime($time[0],$time[1],$time[2],$year[1],$year[2],$year[0]);
//return the new time.
return $unix;
}
$time = '2013-10-28 12:00:00';
echo to_unix($time);

ronalmagic10: It seems lyk some peeps wanna act 'white house down' or 'Olympus has fallen' movie but dis tym itz gonna be real!

duality: Point blank when you have a jaguda politician manning such position. no room for diplomacy.

Juell: I really wonder y people do dat a lot, most especially if u and de person didn't hav any misunderstanding. Some after ignoring u for so long will only remember u wen dey need ur assistant.

nobilis: Honestly, I'm really enjoying this thread. It is very educative and has also served as an eye opener for me. I've always wanted to know the real cause of the 1966 coup and the subsequent civil war. I wasn't around then and I've not had the opportunity to study Nigeria's history deeply. Somehow, I now understand why the coup has always been labeled "Igbo coup". But the thing is, no account of the events that took place then is free from flaws. I think this is because every writer would like to vilify his actions or the actions of his friend/ally. So whose account of events can we trust?

At least we could have a good conversation on technology, which is nice

wesley80: ^ link?

Iaz93: One word, bro : e-diot!

pasqal09: E be like say na 3310 u buy for her

wesley80: You've pointed out the flaws in the piece which is great but isnt there some kind of merit in the entire piece? Like Banjo being imprisoned for treason by virtue of carrying a pistol when all the coup conspirators admit he had absolutely nothing to do with the coup. Captain Ben Gbulie in his book Nigeria's 5 Majors described his shock on seeing Banjo in a cell in Kirikiri. What about Zik's long stay away from the country? Surely these are posers that cant just be dismissed.

wesley80: That Awo was a tribalist is a fact only few deny, but we must admit that his tribalism endeared him to his people and he dedicated his life to fighting the cause of his people and left a lasting and so far unmatched legacy. Zik on the other hand was a Unitarist, he loved Nigeria, believed in Nigeria and wanted to see Nigeria succeed and what did his people think of him? An over - ambitious and deluded fellow! He earned nothing but scorn for believing in a project no one else did.
So did Zik betray his people? I dont see how he did and if you think he did I'd love to hear how. I personally consider Zik the one true hero of Nigeria's post colonial struggle but I'm open to learning why anyone thinks I'm wrong.

nku5: Exactly. If someone said Zik pandered to American interests I might have considered it. If you look at the proliferation of ethnic pressure groups in the early days of nationhood you can smell the dirty, slimy hands of british interest.

madambini: CBN is not broke. Paying western union in Naira is a measure to reduce the demand for dollars.
