Parameter 1 |
date, a string |
||
Description |
Converts 'date' into a UTC timestamp.This function guesses the format of the date string, and returns -1 if it could not interpret it. Consequently dates of the form dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy are not supported since it is impossible to distinguish between them. It is also quite slow since it has to search through possible formats. See also date_convert. |
