Here is a more advanced example of a version that works for people outside of the US. It can recognise dd-mm-yy and dd/mm/yy.

<?php
function strtotime_nonus($date)
{
    if(is_null($date) or ($date == ""))
        return False;
    if(strpos($date, '/')) {
        // break out components with '/', maximum of 3 elements
        $components = explode("/", $date, 3);
    }
    elseif(strpos($date, '-')) {
        // break out components with '-', maximum of 3 elements
        $components = explode("-", $date, 3);
    };
    $count = count($components);
    if($count > 1) // There is a slash
    {
        $tmp = $components[0]; // Swap first and second components
        $components[0] = $components[1];
        $components[1] = $tmp;
    }
    return strtotime(implode("/",$components)); // Put back together
};
?>
