Convert SQL datetime to timestamp

Asked by maunded in MS SQL Server

Tags: sql, convert, datetime, timestamp

Hi,
Im having a big problem with yet another simple task :)
Trying to get MS SQL to convert its datetime type to a UNIX timestamp
How can this be done?  I know in MySQL there is the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function, but how does this relate in mssql?
The problem exists becuase I am trying to use PHP to convert the mssql datetime to a unix timestamp, and then back.
If I get a date from the database such as 2004-Sep-03 05:09:00 and use the php function strtotime() on that, it converts it, but then using strftime() converts it back and it ends up being somewhere around 2010!!
