Bug description: Middle Endian date format only semi-recognized by strtotime
Description:
------------
An extremely common date format in the USA is middle endian, which is
often expressed in one of two ways. Today's date (July 21, 2009) could be
expressed as either of the following:
1. 07/21/2009
2. 07-21-2009
Currently, if the first version (1) is passed into strtotime(), it
successfully parses the date. However, the second version (2) returns
FALSE.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(strtotime('07/21/2009')); // good
var_dump(strtotime('07-21-2009')); // bad
?>
Expected result:
----------------
int(1248152400)
int(1248152400)
Actual result:
--------------
int(1248152400)
bool(false)
