Did some googling and found this, but it give :50 for seconds, instead
of 50:

function parse_w3cdtf ( $date_str ) {

# regex to match wc3dtf
$pat = "/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2})\d{2})(\d{2}))?(?[-
+])(\d{2}):?(\d{2})|(Z))?/";

if ( preg_match( $pat, $date_str, $match ) ) {
list( $year, $month, $day, $hours, $minutes, $seconds) =
array( $match[1], $match[2], $match[3], $match[4],
$match[5], $match[6]);
