date format and strtotime()

[matleeds]

Hi,

I'm struggling a bit with using a date format and strtotime()

 

if(!empty($_GET['utime']))
{
$time = strtotime($_GET['utime']);
}

 

utime is supplied in the format dd/mm/yyyy but when I use strtotime() it treats it as mm/dd/yyyy....so 07/12/2011 is taken as 12th Aug rather than 7th Dec..which is the date I want to use.

 

I had a quick ganders through the forums but couldn't find anything specific to this.

 

is there any other attributes to strtotime() that will help, or a similar fucntion or a neat way of swoping my dd/mm/yyyy round before i use strtotime()

 

any help greatly appreciated...
