note 8830 added to gmdate

To the above comment: You could easily convert dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy and back with something like this: (Mind you, this isn't the most efficient code and I didn't test it, but it should work) -- Also, this only works if your date separator is '/', but will work with both 2 and 4 digit years. $somedate = explode("/", $european_date); $newdate[0] = $somedate[1]; $newdate[1] = $somedate[0]; $newdate[2] = $somedate[2]; $american_date = implode("/", $newdate); http://www.php.net/manual/function.gmdate.php
