[PHP] strtotime problem

[Thodoris]

I know that *strtotime*() only recognises the formats mm/dd/yyyy, yyyy-mm-dd and yyyymmdd 

****for numeric months but I need do something like that:
function dateWebToMysql($webdate){

        $format = 'Y-m-d';
        $timestamp = strtotime($webdate);
        
return date($format,$timestamp);
        
}

print dateWebToMysql('01/03/2008');

Where 01/03/2008 is in dd/mm/yyyy format (not the American format). What is the 
best way of doing this?

Any ideas?
