The format I am interested in is DD-MM-YYYY which is the way dates are specified in the UK, strtodate() cant handle this.
Ben, there is no (built in) string->timestamp function that takes a format. strtotime() is pretty smart about interpreting your input, but it's limited to the GNU date input formats: http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/tar_7.html
The topmost comment on the strtotime() manual page (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php) describes the function you're looking for, and links to it: http://www.evilwalrus.com/viewcode.php?codeEx=627
