> Is the strtotime() function causing this problem?
=yes, in a way. Please RTFM:
strtotime -- Parse about any English textual datetime description into a UNIX timestamp
The function expects to be given a string containing an English date
format and will try to parse that format into a UNIX timestamp relative
to the timestamp given in now, or the current time
if none is supplied. Upon failure, -1 is returned.
=The -1 explains $date3, it also enables you to back-track to an issue with $date1.
=If you are in America, what does 10/12 mean?
=If you are in Europe, what does 10/12 mean?
=Thus, how can strtotime() attempt to determine the meaning of the textual date?
(I'll send you the full lecture if you have no idea what I'm talking about)
=Regards,
=dn
