note 38184 deleted from function.strtotime by didou

Note Submitter: php@bartman.prv.pl.REMOVEIT ---- Here is a simple function for those (like me) who use different notation of a date. A date 1981-06-26 in Poland (I don't know if it's used in other countries of Europe) should be written 26-06-1981. So this function just converts date to timestamp so you can safely compare dates or use getdate() to extract month, day etc. Just pass a string with a date with month, day and year separated with "-" (still you can change it to other characters) function StrToTimestamp($str) { $date = explode("-",$str); //swaps places of year and day return strtotime($date[2]."-".$date[1]."-".$date[0]); }
