strtotime doesnt work with microseconds

The strtotime function does not seem to be working when attempting to convert a string containing microseconds into a unix timestamp. I don't care about keeping the microseconds in the unix timestamp.

Example:

$date = '2017-03-21-10:58:01.7888';
echo strtotime($date); // always outputs 0

I had the same problem and came up with this solution:

function strtotimeMicro($str)
{
    $secs = (string) strtotime($str);
    $t = new DateTimeImmutable($str);
    $micro = $t->format("u");
    $ts = $secs.$micro;
    return (int) $ts;
}

$date = '2017-03-21 10:58:01.7888';
echo strtotimeMicro($date); // returns 1490090281788800

According to these tests and the PHP Manual, the problem is the dash between the date and the time:

5.0.0 Microseconds began to be allowed, but they are ignored.

The format with microseconds is not supported by PHP, see the list of compound formats (date and time). You have to convert it to a supported format. If the timestamp is guaranteed to use this format, you can split it at the dot and then use the first part to obtain the timestamp without microseconds:

echo strtotime(split(".", $data)[0]);
