PHP function strftime() working in part of code but not other part?

[w2pc]

Why is strftime() not working in part of my code?

 

In my page i have

#### just for testing that strftime works like it should #####

/// i comment the next 2 lines out when i run the page as this is just debugging

$date ='Nov 02, 2009';

echo strftime("%Y-%m-%d",strtotime($date));

//returns '2009-11-02'

 

// this worked as expected

But further down where I am running the function after getting data via cURL the same thing fails.

//$receipt[0] - returned 'Nov 02 , 2009' (See master $receipt array below)had extra white spaces so i did the next str_replace below to make it return 'Nov 02, 2009' - this works

 

$date = trim(str_replace(' ', '', $receipt[0]));

//date is not 'Nov 02,2009'

$date = strftime("%Y-%m-%d",strtotime($date));

 

foreach ($receipts as $receipt){

$date = trim(str_replace(' ', '', $receipt[0])); // fixed extra whitespaces now returns 'Nov 02, 2009'

echo $date; returns 'Nov 02, 2009'

$date = strftime("%Y-%m-%d",strtotime($date));

echo $date; // returns '1969-12-31' // This is not expected results

$codeDesc = mysql_real_escape_string($receipt[1]);

$amount = mysql_real_escape_string($receipt[3]);

}
