Best way to get datetime field as the unix timestamp? (Not formated)

What is the best way to get datetime field as the unix timestamp? (Not formated)

I am grabbing the formatted date and putting it back to a unix timestamp and figure, it would be better to just grab the unformatted data!

$s = strtotime($location->location_message_start);

 

Thanks!

The answer's almost in your question!

$s = $location->getUnformatted('location_message_start');
