mktime() issue

[nicksalad]

Hello, i got a smalldatetime value on mssql (e.g. 5/25/2008), wich is the date when the user subscribed, and i want to show on the website the subscription expire date. Now in order to do so, i should make something like this:

$time = explode("/", $dbdate);
$ftime = date("Y/n/d", mktime(0, 0, 0, $dbdate[0], $dbdate[1]+30, $dbdate[2]));

But it doesn't work because when i echo $dbdate it shows May 25 2008 instead of 5/25/2008, so, there's a problem with $dbdate[0] since the mkdate function won't work with the value "May".

Now, is there a way to "convert" the value "May" to "5"?

Thanks

My suggestion is that you switch your format to integer, and you put in the unix timestamp as the value using the time() function

however to convert a human readable date into unix to use to convert "May" to 5 use the code below

$may = strtotime(human-readable);
$may = date(m, $may);

m = 01 thru 12 format (with leading zero)
n = 1-12 (no leading zero)
