[SOLVED] strtotime question

[obay]

what is wrong with this statement?

 

strtotime("07-23-2009 01:40:58");

 

because when i

 

date("yyyy-mm-dd",strtotime("07-23-2009 01:40:58"));

 

it returns

 

1970-01-01

 

when it's supposed to return

 

2009-07-23

 

any help appreciated. thanks

i found the answer to my own question

 

dashes should be replaced with slashes

 

that is,

 

strtotime("07/23/2009 01:40:58");

 

instead of

 

strtotime("07-23-2009 01:40:58");
