PHP: Strtotime / date ignoring timezone?

having some trouslb with strtotime, its easier to show by example :)

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');             //  Set timezone to local / 
echo date("d/m/Y", strtotime("1-6-2003"));   // Expected: 01/06/2003    Got:    01/06/2003
echo date("d/m/Y", strtotime("16-12-2003")); // Expected: 16/12/2003    Got:    16/12/2003
echo date("d/m/Y", strtotime("10-12-03"));   // Expected: 10/12/2003    Got:    03/12/2010

Any ideas how to get around this problem? I am using strtotime to try and negate problems with users entering dates in different form开发者_运维百科ats.

Thank you for reading,

strtotime does not support that kind of date format. See the documentation for a list of supported formats. Read the documentation next time.
