php date not converting properly

I have this date in php: 31/01/2013

I'm trying to convert it using the strtotime function like so

date("Y-m-d", strtotime(31/01/2013));

but it keeps displaying as 1970-01-01. Any know why this is?

Try this

$date = "01/08/2013";

echo date('Y-m-d', $date);

This will work

$date = str_replace("/", "-", "31/01/2013");
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date));

you should include it inside a string, not a continuous series of dividing numbers

date("Y-m-d", strtotime("31/01/2013"));
