How to convert the date 11/03/2013(i.e. 11 March 2013) to unix timestamp in php?

Question

I want to convert the date in above format to the equivalent Unix Timestamp. I searched a lot but couldn't get any solution. Can anyone help me out to resolve this issue? Thanks in Advance.

You couldn't have searched much: `strtotime()` http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php — mcryan, Mar 11 '13 at 11:21

Quick and dirty:

$pieces = explode("/", "11/03/2013");
echo strtotime($pieces[1]."/".$pieces[0]."/".$pieces[2]);

I think you need to use this strtotime($date);

strtotime('Jun 26,12');

That will sort all of your problems.

if the separator is a slash (/), then the American m/d/y is assumed; whereas if the separator is a dash (-) or a dot (.), then the European d-m-y format is assumed.

Try using this...

strtotime( str_replace( '/', '-', '11/03/2013') ) );

You can find more details here...

If you have a very spezial Format, then with DateTime

DateTime::createFromFormat('11-2013.03', 'd-Y.m')->getTimestamp()

if its a normal Date-Format, then with strtotime()

PHP >= 5.2

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', '11/03/2013');
echo $date->format('U');

PHP >= 5.3

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', '11/03/2013');
echo $date->getTimestamp();
