Note Submitter: matt at azoundria dot com ---- It's important to note that strtotime does NOT successfully handle any date/time format with the word 'at' in it. (Commonly used.) ie: September 15th at 6:12 PM It also does not handle any date/time format with brackets (also reasonably common). September 15th (6:12:14 PM) To get around this, and create a more universally compatible strtotime, create your own custom strtotime which first filters these out with a str_replace. function fullstrtotime ($time) { return strtotime(str_replace(array(" at", "(", ")"), "", $time)); }
