php-date

I am trying to turn this type of format of the date:

Thursday, November 10th, 2011 at 10:37 PM

Into an ISO 8601 format (with PHP). How can I do this? I've tried:

date("c", $row2['time'])

Obviously, that's not correct, because the timeago jQuery plugin is saying "41 years ago", and that is definitely not 41 years ago.

Is it not possible to turn that kind of date into the ISO 8601 format?

I've tried searching for this and I haven't found any solutions on how to turn this format into ISO 8601.
