note 95655 rejected from function.mktime by thiago

Note Submitter: edward at copyweb dot co dot uk ---- Oh what grief I can forsee with this wretched perverse middle-endian date format. It appears that all the simple PHP date-parsing functions expect the date arguments to be supplied in perverse middle-endian order (mm-dd-yyyy), for obvious historical reasons of cultural hegemony. Can we not have a sane date parser that works with the logical ISO 8601 format? This (yyyy-mm-dd) is also the norm for date representations in the most populous nation on earth, so it ought to be the way forward.
