PHP - Using strtotime with a UK date format (dd-mm-yy)

Question

Quite simply in PHP I have a date of 8th January 2011, in the format 08-01-11 - when I run this into strtotime and convert it back into a different date format, it reverts b

Answer 1

I do this to get around it:

$date = "31/12/2012";
$bits = explode('/',$date);
$date = $bits[1].'/'.$bits[0].'/'.$bits[2];

$date is now strtotimeable
