string to date

[qDot]

I have a date string that looks like so.

02/12/2005 02:20

the format is dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm

i need to change that string to look like so.

2005-12-02 02:20

the desired format is

yyyy/mm/dd

i tried

strftime("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M", strtotime("02/12/2005 03:08"));

but that seems assume the string "02/12/2005 03:08" is 12 Feb 2005. I need to change that so that the string is read as 02 Dec 2005.

please help.

$str = "02/12/2005 02:20";   

$split = preg_split("/\//","$str");
$newstr = $split[1]."/".$split[0]."/".$split[2];
echo date("M/d/Y",strtotime($newstr)). "\n";

?>

WARNING: This script is such an awful kluge it will likely:

1. Get me laughed out of the EL....
2. Slow down most POSIX compliant operating systems....
3. Kill Win2003 servers....

But, I've not played with PCRE's for a few moons ... good practice.
