From this site (http://www.tuxradar.com/practicalphp/4/5/2)

Be wary of dates such as this one: August 25, 2003, 10:26am. Although this may look perfectly well-formed, strtotime() is not able to handle it because it has commas in there - yes, they make it much more readable for us, but strtotime() gets confused handling them. If you have dates with commas in, be sure to strip them out using str_replace().
