Question

In PHP , i’ve used the following code :

echo strtotime("today")."<br>";
echo strtotime("06/08/2011")."<br>";

I’m getting two different outputs :O

Why is that ?

Thanks

Answer 1

You get different outputs because the second one is not today, as you think. The second date is read actually as 08 June 2011.

If you write this code:

echo date("d M Y @ H:i", strtotime("today"))."<br/>";
echo date("d M Y @ H:i", strtotime("06/08/2011"))."<br/>";

You can see what I’m saying.

The second line should be:

strtotime("08/06/2011");
