From <http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php>:

"The function expects to be given a string containing a US English
date format..." The U.S. format is "MM/DD/YYYY", while the European
formation is "DD/MM/YYYY".

Assuming that the first date is March 5, 2008, then you should write:

strtotime("3/5/2008 00:00:00");

The second should be:

strtotime("5/18/2008 00:00:00");

Check out some of the comments on that page for information regarding
European formats.
