A slightly more OO way than the other answer...

<?php

$dt = new DateTime("2014-03-06T00:50:49.000Z");
echo $dt->getTimestamp();

I recommend this way because the DateTime class also has time manipulation and formatting methods. This is a class in 5.2.0+ , but there are implementations to mimic the DateTime class for earlier PHP versions.

strtotime() can handle that date format:

echo strtotime("2014-03-06T00:50:49.000Z");
// 1394067049

See it in action
