I was doing 'echo strtotime("October 12th 2001 - 02:52:51 AM");' and unfortunately, it returned '-1'.
I expected a UNIX timestamp.

After some playing I found that the 'th' caused the trouble. 
Is strtotime unable to parse things like 'rd','nd','st' or 'th'?
Is it a bug or a non-feature?

I am using the php version which comes with debian woody.

I'll check if this is possible.

This is not possible in an easy way. It's certainly not a bug.
