Text to dates

Does anyone have any standard functions they use to input and create dates and times from a text field?

A bit like the Add Event on Basecamp's calendar... http://www.37signals.com/svn/archives2/the_long_road_to_simple_creating_debating_and_iterating_add_an_event.php

Or perhaps seen examples elsewhere on the web of date parsing using regular expressions?

Cheers for any guidance you can give!

Have you tried chronic?

That looks like just the thing! Thanks Eric!
