help understanding strtotime better

[mikefrederick]

I just grabbed a time from my database that was put in there a couple days ago using strtotime(date('m/d/Y'));

 

When I echo date('m/d/Y',$grabbed_date); I get today's date.

 

BUT, when I echo strtotime(date('m/d/Y')); it does not equal the grabbed date. Why is this?

here $grabbed_date must be string....single or double quoted...
$grabbed_date='20-03-2008';
echo date('m/d/Y',strtotime($grabbed_date));
