Use 64-bit native PHP functions instead.

===== Description =====
This function extends the adodb_date() function, allowing the second argument to be passed as an ISO format string instead of a timestamp. This makes it easier to generate formatted times outside of the normal unix timestamp range. 
----------------------------------
===== Usage =====
<code php>
$d = adodb_date2('d-M-Y H:i','1520-12-25 13:01:34');
</code>
===== Note =====

To make the calculation work correctly for early years, it is important to use 4 digit years for the ''$isoDateString''
