[SOLVED] I am having a issue using strtotime()

[stockton]

If my program defines $Vandag as $Vandag = date('d/m/Y H:i:s');

and I compare that with what I retrieved from MSSQL I get:-

Vandag = 11/07/2007 17:15:23 Start = 26/06/2008 11:31:25 End = 26/07/2009 11:31:25

UVandag = 1194448523 UStart = 1265448685 UEnd = 1297071085

 

Start & End are ex MSSQL

 

and if I alter to $Vandag = date('d-m-Y H:i:s');            // Note hyphen instead of slash

the echo in my program reports:-

Vandag = 11-07-2007 17:23:59 Start = 20/06/2007 13:39:12 End = 30/12/2009 23:59:59

UVandag = 1482852239 UStart = 1218022752 UEnd = 1307915999

 

As you can see in neither case is Vandag less than Start but strtotime() seems to think that it is.

This is on a Windows XP machine and I am obviously missing something but what?

I also fail to understand why there should be a difference between hyphen seperated dates as against slash seperated.

BTW the date format is, I believe, dd/mm/ccyy
