Is there a function that uses the date()
format to interpret a string?
echo date('s-i-H d:m:Y', 1304591364); // 34-29-17 05:05:2011
// Does this function exist?
echo inverse_date('s-i-H d:m:Y', '34-29-17 05:05:2011'); // 1304591364
I know strtotime()
, but it’s failing me in most cases as I am not parsing English date formats.
I’m looking for a function that can dictate the format.
