Description:
------------
Specifiying a date in the format 31/12/2005 fails to parse however the American format 12/31/2005 works.

This works in PHP 5.0.4 on Solaris 8 but no longer works with the strtotime() changes in 5.1.2.

Some more testing revealed that various formats do not work when the day precedes the month e.g. 31-12-2005 that used to work in 5.0.4.

(We are aware that this does not necessarily produce sensible results e.g. strtotime("31/12/2005") != strtotime("12/31/2005") even in 5.0.4 although it seems that it should at least still *work* in the same way...)

If you need any more information please let me know.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

print strtotime("31/12/2005");

?>

Expected result:
----------------
1184162400

Actual result:
--------------
nothing

31/12/2005 is not supposed to work. It's not a valid format. However, I will see why 31-12-2005 doesn't work.
