How to format the date in dutch to dd-mm-yyyy format

I have a date in the format: woensdag 22 oktober 2014 08:41:42

I want this date to be converted to the format dd-mm-yyyy so that the resulting date will be 22-10-2014. The date is in dutch language.

How can I convert it using PHP

I had to write a basic dictionary for it, but here it is:

function dutch_strtotime($datetime) {
    $days = array(
        "maandag"   => "Monday",
        "dinsdag"   => "Tuesday",
        "woensdag"  => "Wednesday",
        "donderdag" => "Thursday",
        "vrijdag"   => "Friday",
        "zaterdag"  => "Saturday",
        "zondag"    => "Sunday"
    );

    $months = array(
        "januari"   => "January",
        "februari"  => "February",
        "maart"     => "March",
        "april"     => "April",
        "mei"       => "May",
        "juni"      => "June",
        "juli"      => "July",
        "augustus"  => "August",
        "september" => "September",
        "oktober"   => "October",
        "november"  => "November",
        "december"  => "December"
    );

    $array = explode(" ", $datetime);
    $array[0] = $days[strtolower($array[0])];
    $array[2] = $months[strtolower($array[2])];
    return strtotime(implode(" ", $array));
}
$date = "woensdag 22 oktober 2014 08:41:42";
echo date("l d-m-Y H:i:s", dutch_strtotime($date)) . "<br />";
echo date("d-m-Y", dutch_strtotime($date));
