PHP Date function

Question

I meet a trouble with php data function.

echo strtotime("31/05/2011");

It prints empty.

What's problem with this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

DD/MM/YYYY Is not a valid date format (The manual outlines it must follow one of the supported date and time formats.) So, instead, it should be MM/DD/YYYY:

echo strtotime("05/31/2011");

Or, I guess as others have posted, the european (ISO8601 Notations) version uses hyphens:

echo strtotime("31-05-2011");
