Shawn,

I think the idea here was to get a timestamp from a date in that
format he was telling about.

After replying however, I noticed that strptime is only implemented in
PHP5. Sorry about that mate.

Hi

Anyone "dd/mm/yyyy" as a date variable? strtotime - works fine with
"mm/dd/yyyy" but now with "dd/mm/yyyy". (PHP 4.x)
setlocale()

and then...

Couldn't see any other way.  *nix strtotime is supposed to use locale.

Fixed that for me:

$date = '20/12/1971';
$d = explode('/', $date);
echo mktime(0 ,0, 0, $d[1], $d[0],$d[2])."\n";

I was bored. Just an example, and I named it _eur because I assume that all European dates are this way, but some may have a / or a - or . separator. intval() is to remove preceding 0 or it is treated as octal.

<?php

function strtotime_eur($date)
{
    preg_match('|([0-9]{1,2})[/.-]([0-9]{1,2})[/.-]([0-9]{2,4})|',
		$date, $parts);

    if(count($parts) != 4) {
        return false;
    }
    $d = intval($parts[1]);
    $m = intval($parts[2]);
    $y = intval($parts[3]);

    return mktime(0 ,0, 0, $m, $d, $y);
}

?>
