PHP Date Function

Question

I encounter a problem with the php data function.

echo strtotime ("05/31/2011");

It prints blank.

What is the problem with this?

Thank.

Answer 1

DD / MM / YYYY is not a valid date format (The manual outlines it must follow one of the supported date and time formats ) So, instead, it should be MM / DD / YYYY :.

echo strtotime("05/31/2011");

Or, I think, as others have published, hyphens are used in the European version (ISO8601 notations):

echo strtotime("31-05-2011");

Answer 2

http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php

Use hyphens instead of a slash.

echo strtotime("31-05-2011"); // outputs 1306821600

Answer 3

(DD-MM-YYYY) :

echo strtotime('31-05-2011');

Answer 4

echo strtotime("2011-05-31");

Answer 5

php DateTime?

DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', '31/05/2011');
