At least as of PHP 5.3, that format is natively supported by strtotime and date_create. Using a DateTime from the PHP interactive shell:

php > $d = date_create('2011-03-14T06:25:22+0000');
php > echo $d->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
2011-03-14 06:25:22
php > echo $d->getTimezone()->getName();
+00:00

You'll probably want to read up on all of the formats these two functions support.

Using strtotime() and date() ...

<?php
    // source date
    $source = strtotime('2011-03-14T06:25:22+0000');

    // remove this line to use your server's local time
    date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

    // parse and print
    echo date('Y-m-d h:i.s A O', $source);
?>

Output:

2011-03-14 06:25.22 AM +0000
