I'm trying to select only records in my database (mySQL) after a certain date but when I use the strtotime() function it returns the "time" in mm/dd/yyyy format where as I am working in dd/mm/yyyy format. How do I overcome this?

PHP Code:
//If you test the below code the $mytime will be greater then time() which is can't be??
$mytime strtotime("09/03/2006");
echo 
"MyTime = $mytime and " time() ."<br>"
