note 90024 deleted from function.strtotime by derick

Note Submitter: dewi at dewimorgan dot com ---- Fails for non-US dates where the ordering is uncertain, such as 01/02/2003 - parses this as Feb 1st, rather than Jan 2nd. If you are parsing dates for a non-US locale, you can flip these elements of your date: <?php $y = $_POST['date']; if (preg_match('/^\s*(\d\d?)[^\w](\d\d?)[^\w](\d{1,4}\s*$)/', $y, $match)) { $y = $match[2] . '/' . $match[1] . '/' . $match[3]; } echo date('d # m # Y', strtotime($y)); ?> WARNING: Above only works for dates, and breaks for times: 12:30:01 will be converted to 30/12/01. This absolutely ought to be a flag to strtotime(), either as a boolean "monthfirst" flag, or a boolean "respect my locale" flag. Since it isn't, kludge is needed.
