strtotime() problem

[micmac]

Hi all,
Can anyone explain why the following is so?
I have the following:

$current_date = strtotime(date("d-m-Y"));

$day = 10;
$month = 12;
$year = 2003;

echo "$day-$month-$year";
$delivery_date = strtotime("$day-$month-$year");

echo "$delivery_date<br>";
echo $current_date;

What i don't understand is that the value for $delivery_date is less than $current_date. The values are:

$delivery_date = 1464098400
$current_date = 1903356000

Shouldn't the $delivery_date value be greater?

Cheers,
micmac

Try "year-month-day". "day-month-year" is ambiguous because Americans use month-day-year.

Better yet, don't bother with strtotime() at all, just use mktime().
