Convert string to timestamp in PHP using strtotime

Question

Trying to change string like

Tue Jun 28 15:24:51 +0000 2011

to php unix time.

Found this Parsing Twitter API Datestamp but strtotime returns -1 for me.

echo strtotime('Fri Apr 09 12:53:54 +0000 2010');

Any ideas? Probably hosting problems?

Thanks

This dinosaurs use PHP 4.4.9, so code doesn't work. I added

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

and it starts to work:)

$date = strtotime('Fri Apr 09 12:53:54 +0000 2010');
echo date('d/m/Y',$date);
echo $date;

Works for me. Check the the PHP version compability:
strtotime() api
