Confusion in convert time to mktime

I am using strtotime function to convert date to timestamp like

    echo strtotime('4-5-2013');

its give result 1367618400. which is right. my problem is what if , if the date is in format mm-dd-yyyy instead of dd-mm-yyyy. for example same date is in 5-april instead of 4-may.

As per your latest comment

you can use

echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 31, 1997));

to pass any format and use mktime function.

strtotime treats strings with - in them as dd-mm-yyyy and / as mm/dd/yyyy.

4-5-2013 will be 4-may

4/5/2013 will be 5 apr

Dates in the m/d/y or d-m-y formats are disambiguated by looking at the separator between the various components: if the separator is a slash (/), then the American m/d/y is assumed; whereas if the separator is a dash (-) or a dot (.), then the European d-m-y format is assumed.
