Hi Scott,

mktime() creates a UNIX timestamp based on the arguments you give it 
($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day,  $year,  $is_dst) where $is_dst 
is a flag for daylight savings time, you can set it to 1 if the time is 
during daylight savings, 0 if not and -1 (the default) if you don't know 
(php will try to work it out).

So for eg if you want the timestamp for January 21st, 2004 at 12:30pm 
and 20 seconds you would do this:

<?php
$time = mktime(12, 30, 20, 1, 21, 2004);
echo $time;
?>

Hope this helps...

Cheers,
Brad
