Convert date (DD/MM/YYYY) into timestamp

[tomharto]

I need to convert a date in the format dd/mm/yyyy (date format got from jQuery datepicker) and i need to convert it to a timestamp.

I tried

time($_POST['datepicker']); 

but that didnt work, how would i do this?

http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php

strtotime($_POST['datepicker']) should return a valid timestamp I think. I would check it though.

Easy way to check:

// Both should echo the same thing
echo $_POST['datepicker']."\n";
echo date("d/m/Y", strtotime($_POST['datepicker']));

Ahh, that worked, thank you

No problem . The manual has a full list of time/date formats strtotime will accept, just as an FYI
