<?php

$datestring=date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A");
$returntime=strtotime($datestring);
echo $datestring." READ IN ".$returntime." RETURNED\n";

?>

Is my date string not a valid format? Seems fairly standard. How can I fix?

<?php
// set the default timezone to use. Available since PHP 5.1
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');


// Prints something like: Monday
echo date("l");

// Prints something like: Monday 15th of August 2005 03:12:46 PM
echo date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A');

// Prints: July 1, 2000 is on a Saturday
echo "July 1, 2000 is on a " . date("l", mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 2000));

/* use the constants in the format parameter */
// prints something like: Mon, 15 Aug 2005 15:12:46 UTC
echo date(DATE_RFC822);

// prints something like: 2000-07-01T00:00:00+0000
echo date(DATE_ATOM, mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 2000));
?>

Thanks KRL, but I guess I should clarify.

I'm parsing logfiles already written in that date format I gave.

Strtotime won't convert to timestamp.

I guess I could make a complicated scanf statement but I figured that date format was HIGHLY standard.

<?
$datestring=date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A");
$dateArray = split(" ",$datestring);
$year = $dateArray[4];
$month = $dateArray[3];
$day = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '',$dateArray[1]);
list($hour,$min,$sec) = explode(':',$dateArray[5]);
$returntime = mktime($hour,$min,$sec,$month,$day,$year);
echo $datestring." READ IN ".$returntime." RETURNED\n"; 

?>
