have a look at
EXT:sr_feuser_register/pi1/class.tx_srfeuserregister_pi1_adodb_time.php

FUNCTION adodb_date2($fmt, $isoDateString = false)
Same as adodb_date, but 2nd parameter accepts iso date, eg.

  adodb_date2('d-M-Y H:i','2003-12-25 13:01:34');

FUNCTION adodb_gmdate($fmt, $timestamp = false)

Convert a timestamp to a formatted GMT date. If $timestamp is not
defined, the
current timestamp is used. Unlike the function date(), it supports dates
outside the 1901 to 2038 range.


FUNCTION adodb_mktime($hr, $min, $sec [, $month, $day, $year])

Converts a local date to a unix timestamp.  Unlike the function
mktime(), it supports
dates outside the 1901 to 2038 range. Differs from mktime() in that all
parameters
are currently compulsory.

FUNCTION adodb_gmmktime($hr, $min, $sec [, $month, $day, $year])

Converts a gmt date to a unix timestamp.  Unlike the function
gmmktime(), it supports
dates outside the 1901 to 2038 range. Differs from gmmktime() in that
all parameters
are currently compulsory.
